Ice
'There is nothing else quite like Ice' Doris Lessing
Set in a frozen world that is gradually being devastated by ever-encroaching ice, Anna Kavan's masterwork follows one man's pursuit of a mysterious silver-haired girl to the ends of the earth; to the end of everything.
'A brutal novel of a frozen post-nuclear dystopia. Just the most magnificent book ... hugely enigmatic, a genuine novel of the unconscious and a masterpiece' Frank Tallis, Guardian
'Few novelists match the intensity of her vision' J. G. Ballard
'She is De Quincey's heir and Kafka's sister' Brian Aldiss

Reviews

Astonishes with poetic brilliance
Sunday Telegraph
-
There is nothing else like it... This ice is not psychological or metaphysical ice; here the loneliness of childhood has been magicked into a physical reality as hallucinatory as the Ancient Mariner's.
Doris Lessing
-
One of the most mysterious of modern writers, Anna Kavan created a uniquely fascinating fictional world. Few contemporary novelists could match the intensity of her vision
J.G. Ballard
-
One of the most terrifying postulations about the end of the world.. One can only admire the strength and courage of this visionary
The Times
-
Brutal, addictive and extremely entertaining... strange, unsettling and harsh
Guardian
-
Ice is superbly unsettling... this novel is perfect winter reading.
James Marriott, The Times
-
Just the most magnificent book...hugely enigmatic, a genuine novel of the unconscious and a masterpiece. I feel very passionate about it, as you can probably tell.
Frank Tallis, Guardian
