From the Publisher

A modern classic
'The book sails with majesty through caverns measureless to man. Few books haunt the waking or sleeping mind, but this is one' Time

The Quest for V. sweeps us through sixty years and a panorama of Alexandria, Paris, Malta, Florence, Africa and New York. But who, where or what is V.? Bawdy, sometimes sad and frequently hilarious, V has become a modern classic.

'A remarkable book' Sunday Telegraph
