About the Author:
The narrative, in the form of several very long letters from Judith to men in her life, conveys in sensible, straightforward, matter-of-fact prose the profound disorientation and exaltation that follow from taking nothing for granted.--"New Yorker"
Mosley is one of the few to swim against this current [of trends in contemporary writing] successfully by combining the best features of modernism with the accessibility of earlier conventions.... [Judith has] the funniest nervous breakdown since Bruce Jay Friedman's Stern.... [Mosley uses a] deft and witty combination of new and old ways to tell a riveting story.--Joseph Coates, "Chicago Tribune"
In [Mosley's] series of interconnected tales... he continues to push hard against the novelistic envelope, working to change the whole form and 'frame' of the language in which he writes. Engaging his reader from instant to instant with the questioning intensity of the dedicated progressive formalist, Mosley... consistently makes the mental and emotional experience of his books something special.--Tom Clark ""San Francisco Chronicle" "
Nicholas Mosley was born in London on June 25, 1923 and was educated at Eton and Oxford. He served in Italy during World War II, and published his first novel, ?Spaces of the Dark, in 1951. Since then, he has published sixteen works of fiction, including the novels?"Accident," ?"Impossible Object," and?"Hopeful Monsters," winner of the 1990 Whitbread Award. Mosley is also the author of several works of nonfiction, most notably the autobiography "Efforts at Truth" and a biography of his father, Sir Oswald Mosley, entitled "Rules of the Game/Beyond the Pale." He currently resides in London
