Absence - Softcover
Set in pre-Thatcherite days and subtitled "A Metaphysical Comedy", this is a wildly irreverent story of a young doctor recovering from a relationship that never happened. Exploring a variety of disparate themes, including absence and obsessio n, racism and post-structuralism, Nick Page does for the National Health Service what the Marx Brothers did for Opera.
