Synopsis
An ominous sequence unfolds when it is revealed that strangely intriguing Mrs Mary is being watched from her garden by a trio of strange characters - G, S and C - who are in turn being watched by another observer, who is being watched by a solitary figure on a hill in a third dimension, who is being watched by a group of men in New York, who are being watched by a clairvoyant's prying mind... In this bizarre and brilliant novel nothing is certain and everything is relative. "REVIEW: 'A mind wrenching conception that forces one to question every common notion of human awareness, space-time, and perceptual reality' (Tribune) "REVIEW: Devilishly clever...an exuberant imagination meets a passionate intelligence in this text' (The Guardian) AUTHBIO: Brian Wilson Aldiss is one of the most important voices in science fiction writing today.
