'Sparkles with classical allusions and a wisecracking humour ... it
is pure joy' Daily Telegraph It all begins the night a leaflet
comes through the door of unsuccessful novelist Herman Orff,
promising a magical cure for writer's block. The strange treatment
plunges him into a hallucinatory London dreamworld populated by
figures mythical and real: a severed talking head, Vermeer's girl
with a pearl earring, his lost love Luise and, beneath it all, the
Kraken awaiting. As Herman will discover, creating art is a tough
business. 'One of his most accessibly entertaining books' The Times
'Short, smart and fizzy, the novel seeks out the roots of
creativity with none of the solemnity that phrase implies' New
Statesman
