SOMETIME, NEVER

From England, 3 Tales of Imagination offer fantasy fiction at a superior literary level. William Golding's Envoy Extraordinary renders unto an early Roman Caesar not only a pressure cooker, an explosive and a steamship- but most alarming of all- a printing press; John Wyndham's previsionary experience transforms a woman in a manless world; and Mervyn Peake's boy, after an insubordinate escape from the Castle, is brought by the Goat and the Hyena to the diabolical Lamb... All of these- whether regressions or projections- are written with taste and talent.
