This "is an original and intriguing whodunnit which lays bare the dark side of suburbia and is a testament to Grahm Rawle's extravagant and eccentric talent." The author uses typed pages and manipulated photographs in this cut-up and collaged novel. Amazon.com review: "Michael Whittingham is a 43-year-old unemployed bachelor in England who has decided to take up amateur photography. The instructor has suggested that each student "keep a record of exposure times, shutter speeds and aperture settings. In this way we can learn from our mistakes." But as Michael reveals himself through typed entries in his diary over a 2-week period between Thanksgiving and Christmas, we see an unsavory, egotistical, socially clueless man who mentally justifies his own creepy behavior -- lewdness, peeping in windows, petty thefts, scams for lost-and-found items in classified ads. (Who doesn't know and wonder about people like this, what their internal processes are like?) An ongoing theme is the fantasy he indulges while riding the bus, that he is forced to have sex with every tenth woman, and he tries to "get" a particular shop girl but is usually forced to pleasure some dowdy housewife." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
