A FINE FIRST EDITION. "Close Quarters is the sequel to Rites of Passage and the second volume of A Sea Trilogy. In a wilderness of heat stillness and sea mists a ball is held on a ship becalmed halfway to Australia. In this surreal fete-like atmosphere the passengers dance and flirt while beneath them thickets of weed like green hair spread over the hull. Half-mad with fear with drink with love and opium everyone on this leaky unsound hulk is 'going to pieces'. And in a nightmarish climax the very planks seem to twist themselves alive as the ship begins to come apart at the seams."- William Golding Website "A work of ferocious energy controlled with all the skill and cunning of a master."-The Spectator Faber and Faber hardcover
