A scintillating novel
of fate, accidents, and moral dilemmas
Set in the time of the Vietnam War, this story
concerns the plight of a young American, happily installed in a perfect job in
England, engaged to a wonderful girl, who is suddenly drafted to a war he
disapproves of.
What is duty here, what is self-interest, what
is cowardice? Austin Gibson Grey, the accidental man of the title, is
accident-prone, also prone to bring disaster to his friend sand relations. He
blames fate. But are we not all accidental, one of his victims asks. Fate and
accidents make deep moral dilemmas for the characters in the long and complex
tale.
