Ramsey Blake's first job as a teacher takes him back to the secluded village where he grew up. There he begins to remember the strange world of childhood and comes to realise that the adult world is equally as strange. At the centre of everyday life he discovers a nightmarish game of power and manipulation and is forced to choose sides. He is about to receive the ultimate object lesson in human cruelty. From the author of Morbid Tales, Shrike, and All God's Angels, Beware , "Remember You're a One-Ball " is - in its recognition of the suffering of outcasts, of the ugly and the forgotten - a work of great compassion.

when i was in elementary school, the principal was fond of giving this one particular speech about his own childhood. he was in the locker room with a bunch of rowdy boys who were rough-housing, twisting towels and whipping them at other boys when suddenly a high-pitched howl stopped the fun. one of the boys (we all privately assumed it was our principal) had been hit in genitals, ripping off a testicle.
what was the point of my principal telling us this story? what is Quentin Crisp's point? i won't conjecture to guess here, but let me just say both stories will haunt me for a long time. ( )
