Paperback. AUTHOR: Robert Irwin (born 1946) is a novelist, historian, critic and scholar. He is a fellow of The Royal Society of Literature. He is the author of eight previous novels: The Arabian Nightmare (1983), The Limits of Vision (1986), The Mysteries of Algiers (1988), Exquisite Corpse (1995), Prayer-Cushions of the Flesh (1997), Satan Wants Me (1999), Wonders Will Never Cease (2016) and My Life is like a Fairy Tale(2019). All his novels have enjoyed substantial publicity and commercial success although he is best known for The Arabian Nightmare which has been translated into twenty languages and is considered by many critics to be one of the great literary fantasy novels of the twentieth century. A novel about housework and Marcia's battle against dirt.' Irwin is an irrepressible clever writing but never irritating. The book binds together philosophy and mayhem. The Limits of Vision ranks as a genuine (and rare) work of the imagination.' Jeannette Winterson in The Times Literary Supplement Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
