Daniel Brennan, approaching the premature end of his life, retreats
to a room in his brother's suburban house. To divert himself and to
entertain Ellen, his carer, he writes the journal that is
Telescope, blurring truth, gossip and fiction in vignettes of his
own life and the lives of those close to him. Above all he focuses
on his siblings: mercurial Celia, whose life as a teacher in Italy
seems to have run aground, and kindly Charlie, the entrepreneur of
the family. Enriched with remarkable anecdotes and observations on
topics ranging from tattoos and Tokyo street fashion to early
French photography, Telescope is a startlingly original and moving
book, a glimpse of the world through the eyes of a connoisseur of
vicarious experience.
