Contrivances
The Contrivances of this book occupy four 'Saccades' gouged out by sexual pain and loss; 'Signs of an Intruder' introduces the light of Tuscany to a secure unit; 'The Still-Piercing Air' is sited on the banks of the Thames; and 'Case in Point' turns about fetish objects often withheld from view.
