"Transparent Things revolves around the four visits of the
hero--sullen, gawky Hugh Person--to Switzerland . . . As a young
publisher, Hugh is sent to interview R., falls in love with Armande
on the way, wrests her, after multiple humiliations, from a
grinning Scandinavian and returns to NY with his bride. . . . Eight
years later--following a murder, a period of madness and a brief
imprisonment--Hugh makes a lone sentimental journey to wheedle out
his past. . . . The several strands of dream, memory, and time
[are] set off against the literary theorizing of R. and, more
centrally, against the world of observable objects." --Martin
Amis
