No Fixed Ground — John Roman Baker

Nicholas should be at ease with the sexual liberation of mid-1970's England, but finds he is more on its margins than at its centre. He is not taken in by the propaganda. He meets Peter who is more integrated into the spirit of the decade and they begin an obsessional relationship which soon spirals out of control. Nicholas's story is told from four perspectives. Whose version is to be believed or trusted? Where is the truth in their desires and where the reality? What indeed is reality? Only one thing is certain: Nicholas is cracking up and sooner or later he will hit the ground. Between sanity and madness, life and death, reality and unreality, there is No Fixed Ground.
