They interweave elements from every period of his work: railway accidents and Kafkaesque dreams recall his earliest; concern for the survival of humanity maintains the left-wing commitment of his middle years; and the more contemplative note of his later writing now deepens with the themes of ageing, bereavement and death. The protagonists are threatened by a malevolent state and socio-political violence, but sustained by visions of a better future and the restorative of sexual love. The precise observation and lucid dialogue that always marked Upwards fiction still make a powerful impression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67961371033888,"sku":"NEW1900564610","price":6.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/41Sg8w9-z_L.jpg?v=1792878309","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-coming-day-and-other-stories-1900564610","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
