Book excerpt: Jonathan Bayliss's groundbreaking fiction - the tetralogy GLOUCESTERMAN - has been compared to the works of Sterne, Melville, Joyce, Broch, and Musil. Like the other GLOUCESTERMAN novels, Gloucestertide is inventive, good-humored, and thought-provoking. It explores Bayliss's wide-ranging interests including theater, systems, engineering, financial webs, liturgy, railroads, geography, and politics - as well as the challenges of friendship, love, sex, art, and work. The setting is "Dogtown" on "Cape Gloucester" in the 1960s.
