    About this ebook

    Self Condemned tells the story of Professor Renarding who finds himself reduced to a position at a second-rate university in Canada after his resignation as an academic in London. He and his wife suffer through a bleak and oppressive isolation in a dreary and alien city.
    The novel, a devastating, disturbing satire of life in wartime Canada, explores the difficulty individuals face as they struggle to adapt to new surroundings while preserving their sense of wholeness, as well as the bond that develops between people during a shared experience of isolation.

The author of many novels, including The Revenge for Love, The Apes of God, and Tarr, he was associated with T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pund. Besides being a leading figure of the Modernist movement in English literature, Lewis was also a much-praised artist whose portraits of T.S. Eliot now hangs in the Durban Art Gallery in South Africa.
