This novel was written
by John O’Loughlin just after Cross-Purposes (1979) and is both more
structurally complex and more intellectually subtle than its stylistic
precursor. Basically, the plot revolves
around the efforts of Anthony Keating, a young correspondent for an arts
periodical based in the West End (of London), to conduct a prearranged
interview with world-famous composer Howard Tonks when, to his dismay, the
person who would normally have conducted it became sick at the last moment and
had been obliged to cancel all his schedules.
Owing to lack of experience in this field Keating fails to complete his assignment on
the specified day and is obliged to accept an alternative date for later that
same week, when Mr Tonks is due to return from a professional engagement in
Birmingham. However, the composer is
detained there an extra day and, due to a combination of unforeseen factors,
Keating ends-up seducing his daughter ... with disastrous consequences for both
of them! For they are discovered in
flagrante delicto by Mr Tonks' elderly housekeeper, and word
eventually gets back to the composer himself, causing serious allegations and
misunderstandings which put not only the interview, but Keating's very career
as a correspondent in jeopardy!
Ultimately only the composer's daughter, Rebecca, can save Anthony from
additional humiliation, though not before several turns in the plot have led
him into deeper trouble with his boss and various colleagues and duly resulted
in his dismissal. But thanks to
Rebecca's influence with her father the interview eventually goes ahead, and
the resulting dilemma for 'Arts Monthly' is whether to publish or shelve it, in
view of the surrounding circumstances and the dismissal of its principal
instigator. It is the composer himself,
however, who has the final say, and it comes both as a shock and a delight to
young Anthony Keating. - Those looking for philosophy in An Interview
Reviewed will find food for thought, as will those for whom humour is a sine
qua non of literary entertainment. - A Centretruths editorial.
