Pomegranate Press Fiction

We’ve just the one title so far – but what a title! Ideal for crossword
puzzle buffs of a literary turn of mind . . .

 

Title: Cultic Cyphers from Celtic Cyprus (7,5) Author: David Arscott

Pity an afflicted crossword compiler seduced by the shameless promiscuity of the English language, by the shifting syllables that whirl within his word-choked brain! Writing the definitive manual for cryptic puzzle solvers, Douglas O’Dale finds himself betrayed by the subtle intricacies of his own verbal sorcery – and forced to confront the horror of what happened on a hot summer night long ago.
    Complete with its own grid and set of clues, this remarkable novel moves fluidly between playfulness and anguish – the most elaborate suicide note in literary fiction.

    “Too good for modern publishers” – Martin Seymour Smith
