Back in the day, a friend, a sculptor, introduced WTRI to the concept of coextensivity in art theory: that is, the idea that the viewer completes a work of art (looking back, it sounds like the kind of thing people came up with in the sixties and seventies - heavily influenced by Marcel Duchamp, spritzed with a little Baudrillard…); a conversation that probably arose because I was regarding him through the viewfinder of a medium format camera at the time.
Making a huge effort to not Google anything about this book as I’m intrigued now and don’t want to spoil the fun. I hadn’t heard of Eric Ambler before but the combination of exotic locations, spies and a hint of Graham Greene is probably all I need.
Your strength of mind will be rewarded… (Seriously, it's still enjoyable regardless - just more fun allowing Ambler to lead one up the garden path; which he does with panache.)
And a very British ouzo this is... But it caught my attention!
Glad to hear it!
