The Sea, The Sea

Charles Arrowby, leading light of England's theatrical set, retires from glittering London to an isolated home by the sea. He plans to write a memoir about his great love affair with Clement Makin, his mentor both professionally and personally, and to amuse himself with Lizzie, an actress he has strung along for many years. None of his plans work out, and his memoir evolves into a riveting chronicle of the strange events and unexpected visitors - some real, some spectral - that disrupt his world and shake his oversized ego to its very core.

He has bought a place by the sea, Shruff End, "upon a small promontory", hoping to abandon his old world and life. Writing is part of his escape: he pens his memoirs cum diary, recounting past and present. Past, it turns out, intrudes into present far more than he hoped."@en

  • "Vigoureux et plein de santé, ce gros roman de 1978 contient les "mémoires" supposés d'un ancien metteur en scène célibataire qui s'est retiré au bord de la mer. Evoquant le passé pour les besoins de son livre, il provoque des résurgences parfois hallucinantes et revit une de ses anciennes amours. Ironique et gothique, une lecture délectable et drôle."
