Description
Overweight and overwrought Howard Cleaver London's most successful journalist abruptly abandons home partner mistresses and above all television the instrument that brought him identity and power. It is the autumn of 2004 and Cleaver has recently enjoyed the celebrity attending his memorable interview with the President of the United States and suffered uncomfortable scrutiny following the publication of his elder son's novelised autobiography. He flies to Milan and heads deep into the South Tyrol fetching up in the village of Luttach. His quest: to find a remote mountain hut to get beyond the reach of email and the mobile phone and the interminable clamour of the public voice.
Weeks later snowed in at five thousand feet harangued by voices from the past and humiliated by his inability to understand the Tyrolese peasants he relies on for food and whisky Cleaver discovers that there is nowhere so noisy and so dangerous as the solitary mind.
