The Foot of Clive
By John Berger
Synopsis
A novel in which the author of A Fortunate Man deals imaginatively with many of the Lissues raised in that famous book.
They lay on their backs, they walked, they talked, they hated, they fought. Just a collection of sick men forced to spend part of their lives in a hospital ward named after Clive of India.
Ken had a conscience; Robin was innocent: Dai was a down-and-out but a know-all: Cyril was a prude and disapproved of everything: Harry was happy; Pepino had lost his hand and was afraid his wife would lose her baby.
They got on; they fell out; they had it out; but it was Jack House the murderer, screened off, silent, like a dead man, who made their fears and guilts really come alive.
