Description:

A lonely writer of radically philosophical tendency is visited by an old acquaintance one evening and becomes, to his considerable surprise, amorously involved with her and, subsequently, willing to take on responsibility, outside of marriage, for her teenage daughter, whom he tutors, once she has come of age, in the ways of post-atomic integrities.

This little novella, based around an autobiographical fantasy, shares with 'False Pretences' (1982) the stylistic device of first-person narrative, and relates the nocturnal visit of an old acquaintance to the flat of an admirer who had optimistically written to her in the hope of receiving a positive response. What follows is a romantic pact in which Carmel agrees to live with Joe, provided he accepts responsibility for her daughter Julia. He does, and the trio live happily ever after, or so it seems. For when Julia comes of age there is a sexual treat in store for her which conforms to the post-atomic integrity of our narrative, but such an integrity owes nothing to conventional or traditional marital customs! In fact, marriage is completely out-of-the-question for these three people, whose raison d'être is to remain free and liberated, come what may! Clashes of interest inevitably occur, but it seems that the women are prepared to accommodate this radical philosopher and live on a sexually equal basis with their man, or so one is led to suppose.
