Review
"While this is a brutal and self-consciously referential work, it is also fascinating, well written and rewardingly different from the countless novels about people you think you recognise or, worse, think you are. Anthology of Apparitions is a valuable and at times tender examination of an unenviable, alien soul" Simon Baker New Statesman
Product Description
Claude is a fallen angel from the hedonistic 1970s nightclubbing scene in Paris and St. Tropez. As Anthology of Apparitions begins, he is in his forties, destroyed by the mystery of his sister’s disappearance—he sits in a cafe drinking and day-dreaming. Only the ghostly appearances from his past make life tolerable. Claude is haunted by memories and visions of 1976, when he was 16 and his sister Marina only a child. Together they belonged to the world of wild young things living on the edge, but when Marina started to lose her way, Claude did nothing to save her.
