 Fauske, 2003
An ironic foil to throw into relief the benefits of ‘civilisation’, Peter borrows elements of the Yahoo and the Houyhnhm.
He acquires a primitive, figurative language which penetrates social facades: he calls a young lady a 'peacock', 'old women magpyes and owls', 'a beau with a toupee a monkey', 'blue, red and green ribbons [colours of the Orders of Merit] he calls Rainbows, an Heap of Gold, a Turd'.
