Plot / Content: Rating: G "Leo is an Italian writer in his thirties. Thomas, his German lover, is dead. On a plane to Munich, Thomas's home town, Leo slipes into a reverie of their meeting and life in Paris, nights in Thomas's flat in Montmartre and recalls a disastrous holiday in Spain that marks the end of Leo and Thomas's languid, erotic life together. Leo travels to England to escape the brute continent and to descend into anonymity: 'In England . . . he is leaving behind him a continent that is being destroyed. Thomas was History. His country and his language were the scripts of war.'

"One day, not so very long ago, he caught himself looking at his face mirrored inthe window of a small plane flying from Paris to Munich. Twenty-five thousand feet below, the Alps looked like ripples of sand,tinged with gold by the setting sun. The deep blue sky seemed fathomless, lit on the horizon by a bright saffon hem, the colour of Zen robes. The landscape framed in the small oval window conjured up night and day, and the boundaries between two worlds: earth and air. Later, when a light went on in the cabin, reflecting his weary, fuller face on that northerly holographic screen, the landscapt told him things about himself as well. His face, the one which others had for years recognised as 'his', once again struck him as foreign. Every day his face seemed more alien, because the image he retained of his own face was forever and eternally his face as a boy and as a younger man." opening paragraphs Secondhand booksellers |
