The summer of 1967 - the summer of "A Whiter Shade of Pale", "Mellow Yellow" and "Sgt Pepper". Peter is into path-working meditations, backwards causation, easy sex and drugs. There is acid on the streets and darker things are on the move.

Industry Reviews

As the decade recedes further and further into history, our fascination with the 1960s continues to grow, and Irwin is as fascinating a chronicler of the era's excesses as one could wish. In elegantly textured, eccentric prose, he takes us back to the summer of 1967, when his antihero Peter is heavily into pathworking meditations, casual sex and substance abuse. As part of an occult discipline, he keeps a diary that becomes the bizarre story of the quest for a virgin to seduce and sacrifice. As in the books that brought his name to critical attention (The Arabian Nightmare and Exquisite Corpse), Irwin plays brilliantly with the readers' perceptions of reality and phantasy: here, the hero's confusion between a bad trip and a visitation from hell has the visceral impact of Irwin's earlier work, and consolidates his reputation as one of the most thoughtful novelists to emerge during the 1980s.
