This is a wonderful fictional look at the inside of the head of Anthony Blunt, the "Fourth Man" of the infamous Cambridge spies. If you are at all interested in the history of these mens' times and the possible psychological forces driving them, Banville's brilliant excavation into the possibilities will enthrall and move you.
