'His mouth had been used as a latrine by some small creature of the
night, and then as a mausoleum. During the night, too, he'd somehow
been on a cross-country run and then been expertly beaten up by
secret police. He felt bad.' Jix Dixon has a terrible job at a
second-rate university. His life is full of things he could happily
do without: the tedious and ridiculous Professor Welch, a neurotic
and unstable girlfriend, Margaret, burnt sheets, medieval recorder
music and over-enthusiastic students. If he can just deliver a
lecture on 'Merrie England', a moderately successful career surely
awaits him. But without luck, life is never simple . . .
