A novel that was impossible to put down but which left me with as many questions as answers. Perhaps an allegory of the human condition, but a very readable one as the author slides from Jimmy's boyhood in England to his (or his father's?) travels in the USA and India to his final destination in the prison house which is sited who knows where. The stream of consciousness is not made easier by the narrator's change of voice, but I would recommend the book as worth all the effort.
