Head to Toe by Joe Orton

The only novel ever published by Orton, this fantasy follows the fortunes of the hero, Gombold, who strays onto the head of a creature some hundred miles high and begins a strenuous and eventful journey southward, through the giant's nether regions and on towards his toes.

Joe Orton was born in the city of Leicester in the year 1933. In 1951, he enrolled at RADA, where he met his mentor and lover Kenneth Halliwell. They worked on novels while living on the dole (and briefly in prison for defacing library books), however Orton's solowriting garnered him more acclaim. His openly gay lifestyle has made him a cultural legend. In 1967, Halliwell assassinated him.
