INTRODUCTION
Gates of Ivory is one of Drabble's best novels, written when she was producing a series around the lives of three British women. The focus of this book is the whole notion of Good Time, Bad Time and the way that the complex, sophisticated life in Britain can co-exist with the Heart of Darkness type destructiveness of Pol Pot's time in Cambodia. Novelist Stephen Cox, mesmerized by the vision of "starting fresh" that he associates with Pol Pot, tries to penetrate the rural depths of Cambodia, and disappears. His friends and lovers in Britain eventually try to find him, and tragedy plays out -- intermixed with multifaceted relationships that are changing at the same time in Britain. You have to like Margaret Drabble, and the intellectual and complex world she builds in her novels. I do, and this novel works for me, and kept me captivated even as I was re-reading it. But the picture of Cambodia is, I also have to see, much less powerful and vivid than in Kim Echler's "The Disappeared."
