520    "From the author of the "dazzling... and daring" Pond (O 
       magazine), the adventures of a young woman discovering her
       own genius, through the people she meets-and dreams up-
       along the way. In a working-class town in a county west of
       London, a schoolgirl scribbles in the back pages of her 
       exercise book, thrilling to the first sparks of her own 
       inventiveness. As she grows, she becomes one on whom 
       nothing is lost. Not the novels an eccentric customer 
       slips her at the grocery store where she works as a 
       checkout clerk, or the indelible outline of the careening 
       creature himself. Not the growing heaps of books in which 
       she loses-and finds-herself. Not even the sudden swerve a 
       college friend's mounting envy of her blooming talent 
       takes, derailing in a devastating violation. Threaded 
       through it all, the escapades of her first fully fleshed 
       character-one Tarquin Superbus, bouncing among various 
       time periods and exotic locales-are matched by our delight
       and exhilaration as the scenarios she is learning to 
       conjure, and the fate she is forging for herself, come 
       together in a brilliant conflagration. Exceeding the 
       extraordinary promise of Bennett's mold-shattering debut, 
       Checkout 19 is a radical affirmation of the power of the 
       imagination and the magic escape those who master it open 
       to the rest of us"--|cProvided by publisher.
