New York. 1988. Penguin Books. Reprinted Penguin Classic Crime Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0140107339. 191 pages. paperback. Cover illustration by Peter Maynard. keywords: Mystery America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Jacob Blunt seems perfectly sane to psychiatrist George Matthews, except for the hibiscus flower in his hair. But Jacob himself is not so sure. After all, he is, in the employ of certain ‘leprechauns' who are paying him to whistle at Carnegie Hall and to give away money. George, none the less, begins to trust Jacob. Even when the young man is suspected of committing a brutal murder. From then on, George becomes embroiled in a nightmare world that may or may not be of his own making. Truth and fiction, memory and reality blur as the psychiatrist is systematically robbed of his freedom, his identity and his past. Somewhere in the back of his mind he must know something critical, a secret that someone is doing their best to make him forget. ‘There is a visionary lucidity about Bardin's nightmares that makes his surrealist logic both convincing and disturbing'-Julian Symons. Between 1946 and 1948 John Franklin Bardin produced 3 quite extraordinary novels, all distinguished by a hallucinatory intensity of feeling and an absorption in morbid psychology remarkable for the period. The Deadly Percheron, The Last of Philip Banter and Devil Take The Blue-Tail Fly are unlike anything else in modern crime literature. inventory #40803.
