This unusual novella has been identified as owing 'a little too much to Kafka', sharing in his same strangeness. The hero awakes to find himself able to walk only at a 45-degree angle, having completely lost his body's equilibrium.

With bookplates from Bristol Public Libraries to the front pastedown and front free endpaper, and their stamps to the title page. No further library markings.
