The Survivor

The survivor is Alec Ramsey, veteran of a 1925 Antarctic expedition, now Director of Extension at a university in the Australian tablelands. His mounting guilt at the part he played in the death of the expedition's leader, the horror with which he faces the prospect of viewing the body when the grave is discovered, are examined against a background of provincial academia with all its malice, soured ambitions and clumsy adultery.
