Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea by Stephen Knight (b. 1960) 'The trick (he tells me) is to sleep till twelve then watch the television. In the corner of his murky bedroom there is always a swirl of colour: T-shirts; smoke threading from an ashtray to the light; shoes; anemones thriving on the wreck of the Torrey Canyon; our Chancellor raising the Budget Box.' Reprinted by permission of Bloodaxe from Flowering Limbs(1993)
