Aubrey Mousehead is 75 and alone, watching television with the sound off, seeking the voice of God in the images of detergent and death. He is young Aubrey, an only child, growing up in a house full of Art books and dust in 1950s Cornwall, gazing into the dark labyrinth of his imagination.He is Mousehead, 20, long-haired and utterly weak, seeking FUN among his friends - those reckless sons and daughters of impossibility- while the dream of Love collapses around him.He is The Patient- a fiction - nameless and amnesiac, swathed from head to toe in bandages, stalking the empty corridors of a deserted hospital while outside oily waves fall onto a beach strewn with erotic constructions of zippered and buttoned PVC.All four threads of this disjointed, surreal book lead eventually to the sea - to that place where all things begin and end.
