Eric Linklater's fantastic novel tells the storyline of a double lifestyle. Evan Gaffikin, 60ish, grumpy, and uninterested in his flat commercial success, discovers and evolves his power to fantasy: to fantasy in such depth and in such glowing actuality that the guy can escape his extraordinary existence. We learn of his double life as moments from Gaffikin's real life alternate with his surrealistic, vivid, and frequently hilariously bawdy forays into the world of unreality. As his dream-world and its remarkable characters, steadily get the upper hand, the tension of the novel increases and the climactic series - in a yacht off the Hebrides - is strange and exciting. A Terrible Freedom could, perhaps, be described as an idiosyncratic endeavor into the world of science fiction; but it might be preferable to see it as a conventional novel built with classical composure of unconventional material. Either way this is a tour de make of thoughts and narrative skills. About the Author: Eric Linklater (1899-1974) wrote scores of books for adults and children. He was also a journalist in India, commander of your wartime fortress in the Orkney Islands, and rector of Aberdeen School.
