DescriptionA man called Berg, who changed his name to Greb, came to a seaside town intending to kill his father. . .So begins Ann Quins madcap frolic with sinister undertones, a debut so staggeringly superior to most youll never forget it (The Guardian). Alistair Berg hears where his father, who has been absent from his life since his infancy, is living. Without revealing his identity, Berg takes a room next to the one where his father and fathers mistress are lodging and he starts to plot his fathers elimination. Seduction and violence follow, though not quite as Berg intends, with Quin lending the proceedings a delightful absurdist humor. Anarchic, heady, dark, Berg is Quins masterpiece, a classic of post-war avant-garde British writing, and now finally back in print after much demand.About the AuthorAnn Quin (b. 1936) was a British writer from Brighton.
