A surrealist painter named Casper documents the romantic obsession that removes him from his bohemian life in London, Paris and Munich. As Casper searches for his beloved Caroline in Nazi Germany, Robert Irwin cleverly entwines historical detail with a critique of the Surrealist movement.Eccentric characters - both fictional and non-fictional -appear in Casper's admittedly inaccurate recollection of events. SELLING POINTS It will appeal to readers who like intellectual fiction and game-playing and anyone interested in Surrealism. REVIEWS: 'Robert Irwin's novel about English surrealism is funny and profound and hugely satisfying.' A.S.Byatt in The Sunday Times Books of the Year "Robert Irwin is a master of the surreal imagination. Historical figures such as Aleister Crowley and Paul Eluard vie with fictional characters in an extended surrealist game, which, like the movement itself, is full of astonishing insights and hilarious pretensions. Superb." Ian Critchley in The Sunday Times
Ideal for readers interested in modern & contemporary.
