Synopsis

"In the last quarter-hour of the journey, the idea gathered momentum.... He would find out who she was, where she lived, and in what circumstances, what she did, what made her tick, everything there was to know.
When Paul sees Maggie at the station, she represents for him everything he has always wanted. Prompted perhaps by a book he has been discussing that morning, he follows her - not for an hour or a day, but for weeks on end, trying to understand just what it is that makes her special. So obsessed is he by his project that he doesn't notice the same thing happening in reverse.
The confrontation between them when it comes is explosive, paradoxically violent and loving. Pitting her strength and against his weakness, she finds she still somehow feels vulnerable. The only way to discover why seams to be to do to him what he might have done to her, given half a chance....
Controversial and ambitious in its themes, The Object Man is a surprising exploration of feminism froma male point of view.
