A lonely writer of radically philosophic tendency is visited by an old acquaintance one evening and becomes, to his considerable surprise, amorously involved with her and, subsequently, willing to take-on responsibility, outside of marriage, for her teenage daughter, whom he tutors, once she has come of age, in the ways of what he calls post-atomic integrities - a term doubtless deriving from his philosophical bent! Originally dating from 1982, the year of 'False Pretences', this little novella comes at a time when the author was in the process of abandoning fiction for philosophy, and is therefore likely to provide ample food for moral or social thought.
