More about the book

A broke English student dreams of living the high life in Nice. A bat-woman performs at fairs, waiting to become a dancer. A brain surgery patient forgets that he has killed. A desperate virgin falls asleep when, at last, the opportunity arises. Slightly neurotic and somewhat obsessive, Boyd's characters merge with their own dreams. In Boyd's world, everything falsely appears normal. Except these characters stumble, true toys in the hands of the master.
