"'He ascended, eyes riveted, nailed to the steps leading up to
the top of the pyramid of the sun. How many human hearts he
wondered had been plucked from bodies there to feed the dying light
of the sun and create an obsession with royal sculptures, echoing
stone?... It was time to take stock of others as hollow bodies and
shelters into which one fell...'"
In "Companions of the Day and Night" (first published in 1975)
Wilson Harris revives figures from his earlier "Black Marsden" -
chiefly Clive Goodrich, the 'editor' of this text, who constructs a
narrative from the papers of a figure known as Idiot Nameless: a
wanderer between present and past, taking an Easter sojourn in
Mexico that lasts both for days and for centuries. The results have
the strangely hypnotic power characteristic of Wilson Harris's
fiction.
