Item description from seller

First Edition, 8vo. pp.Vi + 312. Quarter cloth hardcover lettered in gilt. very good clean copy in pictorial complete dust wrapper with one small closed tear to front of spine. ' A powerful novel about growing up as a child of anxiety-the big anxiety, the one that's been with us since the fifties, when we finally realized that Einstein's theories translated into Russian. It's 1995 and William Cowling is digging a hole in his backyard. He is forty-nine, and after years and years of pent-up terror he has finally found the courage of a fighting man. And so a hole. A hold that he hopes will one day be large enough to swallow up his almost fifty years' worth of fear. A hole that causes his twelve-year-old daughter to call him a "nutto," and his wife to stop speaking to him. A hole that William will not stop digging and out of which rise scenes of his past to play themselves out in his memory'.
