The oversight

Author:	Will Eaves
Publisher:	London : Picador, 2001.
Edition/Format:	Print book : Fiction : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"In 1983, an ordinary teenager called Daniel Rathbone fell in love, spurned a friend, and stumbled on the ability to see in the dark." "Years later, on his twenty-fifth birthday, Daniel is bequeathed a second no less unusual gift - a Victorian writing box, or 'slope', the legacy of his father and the repository both of youthful ambition and of a dimly perceived guilt. The box is opened, but its contents resist interpretation." "When a visit from the once-spurned friend, Carey Schumacher, coincides with the death of a contemporary, Daniel's peculiar endowments are enlisted to make lasting sense of lost time and place." "From Bath to Brixton, from the 1960s to the 90s, The Oversight follows a trail of thwarted and victorious affections. It is an intently comic tale of vision and delusion; of family, friendship and desertion; and of the divisively cruel need to belong. A multi-layered debut of distinction."--BOOK JACKET.  Read more...
