The first of these two novels is about a painter, Brazilian by
birth and British by adoption, living and working in London with
his wife, whose equally varied spiritual and cultural inheritance
complements his. Wilson Harris evokes with vividness and
characteristic imaginative power the daily life and landscape of
the city. The setting of Genesis of the Clowns returns to the
jungle hinterland of its author's native Guyana. A government
surveyor and his gang, for whose work and well-being he is
responsible, are exploring and recording the course and currents of
the remote upper reaches of the ancient rivers. Unexpected
incidents and tensions in the formal and personal relationships
between the surveyor and his men have mysterious consequences with
effects and implications far beyond the immediate time and place.
