This week's competition, in which you have to identify a book from its opening sentence, is from a hard-drinking author now better remembered for his stage plays:


"London, the crouching monster, like every other monster has to breathe, and breathe it does in its own obscure, malignant way."

Answer: The Slaves Of Solitude by Patrick Hamilton:D

Entries, including postal address, should be sent to First Impressions, The Times Higher, Admiral House, 66-68 East Smithfield, London E1W 1BX, faxed to 020 7782 3300 or e-mailed to [EMAIL="theschat@thes.co.uk"]theschat@thes.co.uk[/EMAIL]

The winner receives a £25 book voucher. The closing date is August 20. The winner of last week's competition, who identified Philip Roth's Everyman, was Greg Martin of St Andrew's, Bristol.
