Anna Kavan's books have established her reputation as one of the most talented and original contemporary writers - comparable in stature to Virginia Woolf, Anais Nin and Djuna Barnes.
A man's search for an elusive girl takes place against a backdrop of nuclear war resulting in total destruction by walls of ice that overrun the world. Imaginative descriptions of a terrifying dreamlike hunt combine with writing of distinction to form an unusual book. (From the book jacket, first british edition published in 1967).

Slim breakable wrists
that sad bruised look in her eyes
no brute could resist.
Sometimes a struggle to get through, but always pulls you back.
I really enjoyed this. This is a book heavy on themes and light on plot, but the imagery is amazing and it's an interesting book.
