Guilty by Anna Kavan

Set in an unspecified but eerily familiar time and landscape, this is the story ofMark, a protagonist whostruggles against the machinations of a hostile society and bureaucracy. Suffering at first from the persecution of his father as a conscientious objector, his life quickly comes under the control of the Machiavellian Mr. Spector, an influential government minister who arranges Mark's education, later employment, and even accommodation. It is when Mark tries to break free from Spector's influence that his life begins to unravel.

Anna Kavan was one of the most enigmatic figures in British writing during the twentieth century. Born Helen Ferguson, she had a tumultuous life and two unsuccessful marriages, prompting her to adopt the name of one of her characters. Although spending most of her life battling mental illness and heroin addiction, she was nevertheless able to write fiction that was as strong and unforgettable as any English female writer of the previous 150 years.
