London: Jonathan Cape, 1991 . Octavo, cloth. First edition. This novel by a well-known mainstream British novelist is about a man who lives backwards in time from the present to World War II, thus experiencing the Nazi concentration camps as a benign event in which the dead are resurrected. As has been pointed out frequently, the central conceit of 'life-in-reverse' is an old one in SF, having been used by J. G. Ballard
