Accidental Man

"Is there a more exasperating novelist than Iris Murdoch? Her fourteenth novel proceeds with such an air of ramshackle improvisation that the reader despairs of ever sorting out the characters and making sense of their behavior...This is a novel to be read at least twice or not at all. Even on the first reading there are exhilarating big scenes to keep you going...What seemed at first to be a shambles of a novel takes shape around him. 'An Accidental Man' is an original, unnerving comic vision."Murdoch, Iris is the author of 'Accidental Man' with ISBN 9780140036114 and ISBN 0140036113.
