Description
Go Back at Once by Robert Aickman is a comic fantasy novel about two young women, Cressida and Vivien, who resist the societal expectations placed upon them in 1930s Britain. After leaving school, they take jobs in London but find themselves drawn to a new utopia on the Adriatic Sea, governed by a charismatic foreign poet and leader named Virgilio Vittore. This novel is a humorous and satirical exploration of love, life, and politics, where the rules of beauty and conformity are challenged. With its unique blend of romance, pessimism, and camp, Go Back at Once offers a fresh take on the "strange story" genre. Aickman's writing style is both snobbish and humane, making this novel a fascinating read for those who enjoy literary fiction with a touch of the absurd.
