Matthew Adams
Dissing Diston
Deep in the opening section of this rich and remarkable novel, the young Desmond Pepperdine – ‘repeatedly amazed by the total tonnage of what he didn’t know’, and by this stage the adult beneficiary of those adolescent ‘pangs and quickenings of intelligence within his being’ – speaks the following words: ‘It’s like a fairy tale. Magic.’
