littleknownbooksTitle: A Severed Head
Author: Iris Murdoch
ISBN: 0140020039
From the back cover:
As macabre as a Jacobean tragedy, as frivolous as a Restoration comedy, Iris Murdock's fifth novel takes sombre themes - adultry, incest, castration, violence and suicide - and yet succeeds in making of them a book that is brilliantly enjoyable.
