Christopher Reid's new collection is a quartet of works for voice,
opening with the brisk and brightly coloured monologue of Professor
Winterthorn - recently widowed, soon to be retired, who decides on
impulse to attend a conference (on 'Nonsense and the Pursuit of
Futility as strategies...') in California. He is a mordant
observer, alert to the anomie of modern displacement - taxis,
lifts, airports, lounges, hotel rooms - whose thin air seems at one
with the loose change of widowhood, the having nowhere really to
go. But adventure lies ahead, and sunshine, and Winterthorn is
debonair if undeceived about the deceptions of grief. His strange
ride ends on a note of recovery, with the world suddenly in focus
again and brimming before him.
