    This a book you could read in a few hours (maybe less), yet I got halfway through and abandoned it.

    It's the story of a man in a coma... or is it? As a writing exercise, I'm sure it works quite well, as a novel, not so much.

    There are graphic plates scattered throughout to illustrate the novel's progress -- though arguably, they just serve to further confuse. For a tiny little hardcover book with big print, it doesn't need pictures to pad it out.

    I'm not sure I'll ever finish this one.

After being attacked on the Underground, Carl awakens from a coma to a life that seems strange and unfamiliar. He arrives at his friends' house without knowing how he got there. Nor do they. He seems to be having an affair with his secretary which is exciting, but unlikely. Further unsettled by leaps in logic and time, Carl wonders if he's actually reacting to the outside world, or if he's terribly mistaken. So begins a psychological adventure that stretches the boundaries of conciousness.
