At Day's Close

'His book reads like a huge card-index of nocturnal thoughts and incidents , gathered from 20 years of combing through court records, diaries, meditations and travellers' accounts from all over Europe and colonial America. To an extent it is a record of human helplessness and ignorance - a world well lost.'

John Carey
