Carr started the novel as a part of written work for classes of the Workers Educational Association and described it as his most technically ambitious novel, so it was "foolhardy to start with". [1] Carr sent duplicate copies of the novel to publishers to consider and it was accepted by both the 7th and 8th publishers at the same time. [1]
The novel is now published by The Quince Tree Press, the publishing house established by Carr to publish his maps and small books.
