Book Description
A fascinating monograph of a writer who since his death in the
1930s has intrigued an ever increasing number of bibliophiles. He was
wealthy eccentric who paid for the publication of his novels and plays and
believed that his genius would impress the whole world. His unusual writing
technique made him a father-figure for the surrealists, who he prefigured.
His life and work is explored by Heppenstall, himself a novelist and critic
of importance.
