The Dream of the Black Topaze Chamber shows Hugh Fox at his most
sublime. With moments of bard-like inspiration he is able to
explore the subtle underpinnings of relationships, the minute
unspoken thought-flashes between friends, and the mute electricity
of shared moments as he unfolds the story of Magda, Nona and
Bernadette - three women opting out of the conventions of life and
love to create their own sensual world on the fringes of the
Brazilian jungle, a life which suspends desire, imagination and
passion through a silky black dreamland of heightened reality. Fox
moves from the intimate to the universal seamlessly, where inert
trivialities can explode into a political treatise or a sublime
poetic reflection within a single breath. The Black Topaze Chamber
becomes the hub of isolated souls finding some last spiritual union
through the open eroticism of their bodies. What results is a
lyrical novel of ecstatic sexual and sensual metamorphosis rendered
through a poetic alchemy of Brazilian gemstones.
