Completed by Robert Aickman in 1975, but never before published in the US and not widely in the UK, 'Go Back at Once' is a delicious, delirious comic fantasy about the joys and ter rors of a life devoted to resisting the degradations of our technological and conformist age. It tells the story of Cressida Hazeborough and her friend Vivien, two cuttingly intelligent young women in a misty, inter-war Britain. The pair have little patience for the company of the marriageable men they are meant to endure, yet neither do they possess the means to live as they might wish: together, and apart from the demands of modern society.
