description: Incest, murder, delusion and a devastating, black humour mark these three novellas that Gwyn Thomas wrote in 1946: The Dark Philosophers, Oscar, and Simeon. In the title story the grimly humorous philosophers gather in an Italian café in the Terraces to tell the dark tale of revenge that they engineer.
