An impossible object 'cannot exist in three dimensions but can be drawn in two; by cutting out one dimension a fourth is created. 'Impossible Object' is a novel in which eight stories are interwoven so that two characters who fall in love are seen in different aspects at different times and by different narrators.The scene moves from England to Italy to North Africa; the drama of the lovers and their families is set in contexts of contemporary fantasy; the writing is comic,ironic and tragic; the structure is exciting.This is an ambitious book by a writer who has often been called original.It conveys an extraordinary exuberance of feelings and ideas.This book was one of the six nominated and author shortlisted,for the inaugural Booker Prize in 1969 but unfortunately,was not the winner.
