Dr. Edwin Spindrift has been sent home from Burma with a brain tumor. Closer to words than to people, his sense of reality is further altered by his condition. When he escapes from the hospital the night before his surgery, things and people he hardly knew existed swoop down on him as he careens through an adventurous night in London. "Fine, sly, rich comedy. . . ." (NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW) by the author of A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
