Peter Sinclair is tormented by bereavement and failure, in this haunting, dream-like 1981 novel. In an attempt to conjure some meaning from his life, Peter embarks on a memoir, but finds himself writing the story of another man, in another, imagined, world, whose insidious attraction draws him toward it. Christopher Priest (also the author of the James Tate Black Memorial Prize and World Fantasy Award winner The Prestige) gives us an autobiography that isn't-partly a thriller, partly a haunting study of schizophrenia.

"Priest writes extraordinarily well . . . his best novel to date . . . an atmosphere of increasingly oppressive menace." - Francis King, The Spectator "An original and haunting novel." - London Times "A brilliant and sustained novel of imaginative power." - Vector Peter Sinclair, a 29-year-old Londoner, is reeling after losing his father, his girlfriend, his job and his flat. Taking refuge in a friend's rural cottage, he tries to make sense of things and figure out where his life began to go wrong by writing an autobiography. But it is possible that none of this is true ... Peter Sinclair is a 31-year-old native of the city of Jethra in Faiandland who has just won the grand prize in a lottery: a trip to the Dream Archipelago, a neverending series of idyllic islands, where he will undergo a medical procedure that gives him immortality. Because the process also results in total amnesia, Peter must first set down all the details of his life in a manuscript in order to recover the memories afterwards. But it is also possible that none of this is true ... As the two narratives intersect and intertwine, the reader must decide what is real and what is not in this brilliant literary mindgame from Christopher Priest, the award-winning author of The Prestige and The Separation.
