He is a mordant observer, alert to the anomie of modern displacement - taxis, lifts, airports, lounges, hotel rooms - whose thin air seems at one with the loose change of widowhood, the having nowhere really to go. But adventure lies ahead, and sunshine, and Winterthorn is debonair if undeceived about the deceptions of grief.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis strange ride ends on a note of recovery, with the world suddenly in focus again and brimming before him.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePublished: UK, 2013\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Faber \u0026amp; Faber\u003cbr\u003ePages: 128\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 057128129X\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9780571281299\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christopher Reid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51993018401034,"sku":null,"price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780571281299.jpg?v=1761149136","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/nonsense","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
