Description
Jack Craigie (a sociologist at Glasgow University) has committed a murder and is on the run from the police. Ending up in the North Somerset town of Clevedon, he needs a cover-story to deflect suspicion, and hits upon the idea of his being a poet putting together a collection of his work. The poems in the book are those he leaves on his typewriter. He is inveigled into giving a couple of readings, he has women trouble, he eats and drinks a very great deal. He meets Modrick Facey who looks like a "two-boy man", Peggy "the blonde bomb-site", and finally that "very interesting and clever personality" Detective Sergeant Keith 'Crazy' Pavey. This blackly comic novel is to be enjoyed; and readers can take the ruminations on poetry and how it might be written as seriously as they like.
