Cockroft, a faded composer and socialite, lives in self-imposed
exile and fantasizes of true love and extravagant suicides.
Rattling around his dilapidated farmhouse in the Italian
countryside, his only constant source of company is the ever-loyal
Timoleon Vieta, a mongrel with the most beautiful eyes. When a
handsome but surly individual arrives on the scene, Cockroft is
forced to choose between his dog and this new arrival. He abandons
Timoleon outside Rome's Colosseum, where the dog begins the long
journey home.
In this acclaimed novel, Dan Rhodes, one of Granta's Best Young
British Novelists, has created a tragicomic work of macabre beauty
that both amuses and moves in equal measure.
