520 $aWhen the elderly Ariel Price, world-famous architect, receives a letter from a would-be biographer announcing his intention to move forward without Price's approval or authorization, he decides that there is only one response. The biographer will have to die.
520 8 $aAs Price's sinister past is revealed, other seemingly unrelated characters are introduced: Evelyn, the young victim of Price's erotic obsession; his crippled, mysterious apprentice, Cosimo; the performance artist Scilla, who has claimed one of Price's creations - an underground mall - as her own; and of course Theseus Crouch, the would-be biographer who threatens Price's precious reputation.
520 8 $aThese lives converge in a surreal, labyrinthine narrative, building up to the novel's climax: the dance of death between the man who has destroyed the public space - the modern architect - and the man who has destroyed the private - the invasive biographer.
