Description: Ice by Anna Kavan Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A classic 1960s novel of J.G. Ballard-ian strangeness, from one of Britains most haunting and unforgettable voicesThe world is threatened by encroaching ice, creeping down day by day from the polar ice caps. The imminent catastrophe has thrown the worlds governments into chaos, and no one knows whether the disaster has an environmental or nuclear cause, or how soon the end will come. One man pursues his sylph-like, silver-haired ex-fiancee (the girl) as she flees from country to country, away from her husband; away from the malevolent warden of one of the proto-territories that have sprung up as traditional societies crumble; away from him. Author Biography Anna Kavan was born in 1901, the only child of a wealthy British family. She began publishing under her married name, Helen Ferguson. During this time, she was introduced to heroin by her tennis coach in order to improve her game. She suffered a breakdown after the end of her second marriage, and was committed to an institution to treat both her depression and her addiction. She published her two best-known novels after this experience, Asylum Piece and Ice, under Anna Kavan, the name of a character in an earlier novel. She died of heart failure at her home in London in 1968.
