A young writer of radically religious tendency is invited to spend the first weekend of the New Year at a country house in the company of other creative or talented individuals who have been earmarked, unbeknownst to themselves, for participation in a unique experiment in connection with a certain revolutionary museum, whose contents are even more sublimated than the relationships that artificially develop between guests and patrons both before and after their enlightenment. A deeply philosophical novel by John O''Loughlin, which creates and sustains an atmosphere at times bordering upon the otherworldly in its Platonic implications. The cover, we trust, is suitably sublimated.
