Beschreibung

<p><strong>Science fiction maestro Brian Aldiss at the top of his writing powers in a rare foray into literary fiction. With a sparse elegance, Aldiss crafts a heart-breaking, heart-fixing novella delving into ideas of selfhood and human connection. Published in beautiful new collector's livery.</strong></p><p><strong>'The best contemporary writer of science fiction.' - <em>The Guardian</em></strong></p><p>Hugh Billing is sad.</p><p>After making his fortune in the music industry decades ago, for years Hugh has been drifting. Shuttling between the US and UK on business, his life has become a testament to monotony. With every trip through customs he becomes more customary. With every departure he seems to leave a little more behind.</p><p>But when his mother's death returns him to London, Hugh draws just enough hope and courage to travel on a different journey; from loneliness and loss of purpose through to somewhere beyond just survival.</p><p>Writing at the height of his powers and with a sparse elegance, Aldiss departs from science fiction to craft a heart-breaking, heart-fixing novella that speaks to the question of human connection.</p><p>As the conversation around mental health, isolation and loneliness evolves, Brian Aldiss' <em>RUINS</em> proves as prophetic and rich in insight as his science fiction.</p>
