The Outgoing Man has his instructions and is ready to leave, but nothing is that simple.

As he tries to disentangle himself from the "organisation", he is only drawn further in: caught up in his friend Walter's plans for revolution; distracted by the voluptuous Colubrine; and forced into a steely battle of wills with the man who has suddenly and silently occupied his room...

'An unusual and original novel... enjoyably silly' Guardian

'A clever, leftfield debut... surreally witty, it recalls the same European sense of experiment at work in Samuel Beckett, Eugene Ionesco and Magnus Mills...' Metro
