Reissue of a highly experimental "novel" by an admirer of James Joyce and Samuel Beckett. In order to present the random workings of the mind, the story - that of a Midlands football reporter sent on a routine assignment - is presented as 27 separate sections, which apart from the first and last are intended to be read in any order. Little known both before and after publication in 1969, Johnson, who died in 1973, is about to enjoy a revival with the reissue of other novels, and a new biography by Jonathan Coe. Slipcased. "The future of the novel depends on people like B.S. Johnson" Anthony Burgess.
