Jobless, young Dennis Chaikowsky is house-sitting for his parents
in the back end of nowhere, near a nuclear power station on the
coast. His attempts at musical composition are stymied by his
complicated relationship with his Neo-Marxist poet friend,
city-dweller Tarquin, his sexual obsession with Alison, a.k.a
Wanda, who works in the power station by day and is a singer by
night, and his fear and awe of her rock musician husband Severin.
It's an unsustainable comedy, but the world outside, natural and
unnatural, described in Edwards' unnerving prose, doesn't
care."Hypnagogic derangement as the urban dream dissolves before
our eyes." Iain Sinclair, The Observer"Really a great sustained
resilient and berserk piece of work." Fanny Howe on Nostalgia for
Unknown Cities (published asDown With Beauty)
