Binding - tight. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA masterwork of British speculative fiction, An Infinite Summer presents a collection of short stories by Christopher Priest that bend the boundaries of time, identity, and perception with quiet, unsettling precision. The collection chronicles characters caught in strange temporal loops and dreamlike realities, where the familiar world subtly warps into something deeply uncanny. Priest's prose is cool and measured, drawing readers into scenarios that feel grounded in everyday life before unraveling into profound strangeness — a hallmark of his uniquely cerebral brand of science fiction. Among the standout pieces, the title novella details a man who encounters figures frozen in time on a Victorian seafront, weaving a haunting meditation on memory and loss. Fans of literary science fiction and the New Wave movement will find in these pages a writer at the height of his imaginative powers, crafting tales that linger long after the final page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810636411099,"sku":"2026600003071-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8ba4ba92-f33e-4b7a-9d03-0f1cf7408579.png?v=1779806367","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600003071-secondhand-an-infinite-summer","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
