Jeff Atman, a journalist, is in Venice to cover the opening of the Biennale. He's expecting to see a load of art, go to a lot of parties and drink too many bellinis. He's not expecting to meet the spellbinding Laura, who will completely transform his few days in the city. So begins a story of erotic love and spiritual learning that will reach its conclusion amidst the ghats of Varanasi.

'Clever, funny, an intellectual with a resolutely bloke-ish stance; irreverent and incorrigibly subversive ... Dyer is more than a cult writer; he's a virus, invading your system. You look at things differently, embracing the idiosyncratic, keeping the obvious at bay ... vintage Dyer, painfully funny, slyly observant, brilliant, full of wild misery.' Spectator
