Synopsis:

"The Guyana Quartet" is Wilson Harris' collection of novels comprising "Palace of the Peacock", "The Far Journey of Oudin", "The Whole Armour" and "The Secret Ladder". In "Palace of the Peacock", a tale of a doomed crew beating their way up-river through the jungles of Guyana, can be traced the poetic vision, themes and designs of Harris' subsequent work. It was described in "The Times" as displaying 'that staggering ebullience of language we have begun to recognize in West Indian writers'.
