The author's first novel, joint winner of the 1977 Chambers Award for Fiction. "Even during school days in Fife it was evident that Malcolm Leslie was destined for a meteoric artistic career. Each of his school mates too found their own niche, some in far flung places of the globe. But their lives would be mysteriously interwoven in the bizarre emblem which was to serve as the artist's finest expression. From Scotland to Hong Kong and the drama of a typhoon in the China Sea, this novel sweeps on in an exploration of the motives and jealousies of the creative spirit."
