About This Item
New York. 1994. Harcourt Brace. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0151874271. Whitbread Book Of The Year. 407 pages. hardcover. Cover design by Steven Cooley. keywords: Scotland Literature . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Jeff Torrington's startlingly original first novel is set in Glasgow, Scotland, during a single-week in the late sixties. Christmas is approaching, and Thomas Clay is beset with mounting problems: his wife is in the maternity hospital prematurely; he's waiting for news of their transfer to Legoland' high-rise housing - or for his tenement to be demolished beneath his very feet; he has no job, and his novel is, as yet, unpublished. Staggering from crisis to crisis, Thomas Clay is a man pursued - by petty gangsters, his Mafia-like in-laws, a doppelganger, and by time itself. He may imagine he has evaded the tyranny of clocks by escaping the nine-to-five, but no matter how fast he runs, the Grim Reaper seems cold on his heels. inventory #14232 ISBN: 0151874271.
