Distilled to the essence of the idea, Hartley explores the insecurity of desire--wanting something is always a recognition that you don't have it, which in turn leads to doubts about whether you can have it.

Brilliant. I think one may need to be a creative artists of some kind to completely understand the power of his metaphor (or, depending on where you live and what you do, it may not be as much a metaphor as actual everyday life).

Hartley's signature dialogue and angry, brilliant young protagonist here at the start.

Straddles the line between so bad it's good and just plain bad. Terribly acted, pretentious and pointless one can do little else but laugh at the terrible writing.
