Work Description

It was in the early seventies that I last read this book and being, then, in my twenties and not a particularly perceptive reader
have decided on reading it again with the hope now, in my dotage, of finding a more qualified appraisal than I did then.I I mean no change
It is a novel and the opening chapter is headed, 'Spontaneous Generation Of A Protoplast' which, along with the book's title gives some idea of theme and content.
