The nameless narrator of this fascinating tale is searching for his wife, who has been taken to a mysteriously vast underground hospital that turns out to be a surreal sexual labyrinth dedicated to bizarre experiments. After a few days of fruitless probing he finds himself suddenly appointed the hospital's chief of security, head of an extensive and intricate network of surveillance, and yet no closer to finding his wife. With its nightmarish vision of modern medicine and modern life, Secret Rendezvous is as distinctive as it is unsettling.
