Review
""Reminiscent of Kundera and of Theodore Zeldin, but owing noting to anybody but himself."
Product Description
A wise and witty fiction about love, the subject which obsesses at least half the world. Murray ranges across love in its many forms in his combining a comic retelling of the legend of Tristan and Iseut -- one of the world's greatest love stories -- and the story of Felix, growing up in post-war Liverpool and trying to come to terms with the changing nature of love. Nicholas Murray has created a pocket-sized epic about the world's favourite subject. In between the narratives of Tristan and Iseut and the steep learning curve of the young Felix in Liverpool are short, gem-like stories from Greece to Italy, from China to Russia, offering walk-on parts to nelson mandela, Clinton and Lewinsky, Oscar Wilde, lewis Carroll and many other poets, philosophers and legendary lovers, who have learned that 'a world without love is no world at all'. This is a literary confection which will amuse and provoke: read it, then give it to someone you love.
