The man who wakes up in the extraordinary world of a bridge has
amnesia, and his doctor doesn't seem to want to cure him. Does it
matter? Exploring the bridge occupies most of his days. But at
night there are his dreams. Dreams in which desperate men drive
sealed carriages across barren mountains to a bizarre rendezvous;
an illiterate barbarian storms an enchanted tower under a stream of
verbal abuse; and broken men walk forever over bridges without end,
taunted by visions of a doomed sexuality. Lying in bed unconscious
after an accident wouldn't be much fun, you'd think. Oh yes? It
depends who and what you've left behind. Which is the stranger
reality, day or night? Frequently hilarious and consistently
disturbing, THE BRIDGE is a novel of outrageous contrasts,
constructed chaos and elegant absurdities.
