Blind Argus is a story about love, the search for love, the cheating that lovers practise on themselves and on each other. It is also a story about memory — not passive recollection but bloody unarmed combat with the elusive shadows of one’s past. As the narrator looks back from the threshold of death to the passions of his youth, with painful clarity and pervasive self-mockery, he touches the very nerve of loving, ageing, dying.
