Just read...

A very entertaining and somewhat disturbing second novel from Michael Frayn, the author of hilarious Noises Off! (some of friends' lack of understanging notwithstanding) - I still laugh my ass off EVERY time I see the play.
The book itself is divided into very small and brisk chapters with very succinct titles - though written in 1968, way before chat rooms and porn sites, it is a warning against increaing isolation that permeates our society, not that the family cell, but the individuals themselves.
