Book Description Paperback. Condition: Fair. 223 pages. Cover worn. Text tannedThe Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfo ld remains one of Evelyn Waugh's most remarkable and self-reveali ng works. Three years before he wrote it, Waugh suffered a brief bout of hallucination similar to the one that besets Mr. Pinfold in this wildly witty and occasionally frightening novel. A succe ssful, middle-aged novelist with a case of bad nerves, Gilbert Pi nfold embarks on a recuperative trip to Ceylon. Almost as soon as the gagplank lifts, Mr. Pinfold hears sounds coming out of the c eiling of his cabin: wild jazz bands, barking dogs, loud revival meetings. He can only infer that somewhere concealed in his room an erratic public-address system is letting him hear everything t hat goes on aboard ship. And then, instead of just sounds, he hea rs voices. But they are not just any voices. These voices are tal king, in the most frightening intimate way, about him! This volu me also includes Tactical Exercise, a short story of hatred, and Love Among the Ruins, an illustrated romance of the near future. Seller Inventory # 2464an
