As with his first novel it is a tragi-comedy with an unnamed narrator dealing with apparently simple but increasingly sinister situations. Plot introductionThe narrator is spending a few weeks camping in the Lake District before setting out on a motorcycle trip to India. He agrees to help the campsite owner, Tom Parker by performing a simple chore, painting a gate. One thing inexorably leads to another and he finds himself drawn into a succession of disparate tasks, each more complex and time-consuming, and from which there appears to be no escape.
