In some respects THE LOST TRAVELLER is a science-fiction novel, in others it is one of the very few surrealistic novels in English. It is a highly poetic novel, filled with dazzling flights of the imagination and verbal felicities; and it is also as existential and ultimate in its concerns as Blake himself. Concerned with the adventures of Christopher, a young man precipiated through strange dimensions into a land of unreason, it is packed full of new fictional concepts, brilliant fantasy, and provocative ideas. It is also a shocking novel, not in the sense of being sensational, but in presenting certain situations that are so strong, so archetypal that they will remain with you for years.
