Inhaltsangabe
Doug and Dulcie Bysshe are twins. Doug - or Bysshe - is now a successful film star living in the South of France and contemplating a new part as a saintly doctor in an African leper colony. Dulcie, busy, energetic, is fighting to retrieve her husband, the mournful and ineffective Pike, who has absconded to Nice with the adolescent Cherrimay Pugh. At the centre of events is the Gooseboy, a creature with a double face, half faun, half deformed horror...Both elegant and grotesque, funny and appalling, THE GOOSEBOY questions the relations between flesh and spirit, the ridiculous and the terrible. A L Barker watches shrewdly and judges from a distance, her pithy and particular prose shining through.
