First Impressions

March 5, 1999

This week's competition, in which you have to identify a book from its opening sentence, is from a work that was banned in the United States until the 1960s:

"I am living at the Villa Borghese. There is not a crumb of dirt anywhere, nor a chair misplaced. We are all alone here and we are dead."

The winner receives a £20 book token and
the closing date is March 9.

Entries should be sent to
First Impressions
The THES
Admiral House, 66-68 East Smithfield
London E1 9XY

faxed to 0171-782 3300
or emailed to theschat@thes.co.uk

The winner of last week's competition, who correctly identified The Female Eunuch by Germaine Greer, is Andrea Rehberg of Manchester.
