In a country house in England a precocious teenage exile from revolutionary Russia sets down his adventures on paper, beginning with his first ball in St Petersburg and how he frees a huge African elephant from a cruel circus. But a hundred years later an American academic feels the boy may have invented the elephant as the only kind and uplifting being in dark times.
Paul Pickering is the author of six novels, Wild About Harry, Perfect English, The Blue Gate of Babylon, Charlie Peace, The Leopard' s Wife and Over the Rainbow. The Blue Gate of Babylon was a New York Times notable book of the year, who dubbed it ' superior literature' . Often compared to Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh, Pickering was chosen as one of the top ten young British novelists by bookseller WH Smith and has been long-listed for the Booker Prize three times. The novelist J. G. Ballard said Pickering' s work is ' truly subversive' . As well as short stories and poetry, he has written several plays, film scripts and columns for The Times and Sunday Times. He lives in London with his wife and daughter.
