Synopsis
Nicholas Coad, the Savage Mandarin: detached, scientific, 'converted' into a state of 'sublime, cosmic indifference'. He is at work on a unique project - the 'conversion' and liberation of the soul or Higher Self from the chains of physical bondage. His 'patient' is his good-natured neighbour, Rogers, up-and-coming ad-man. Rogers does not realise that his piercing headaches are caused by the fearsome, hypnotic machinery in Coad's flat. But as Coad brings him further along the path to liberation, he has no choice. After all, his brain now resembles a chunk of Gruyere cheese....
Excerpt
Note for the busy reader: there is only one description of sexual intercourse in this book. It is not on pages 54, 134 or 179.
There are no scenes of crude violence. The only decapitation is performed in a decent and gentlemanly way, by mutual agreement.
