'True, dense, ambitious writing.'
'Beautiful, artful and hypnotic.'
'Vivid and explosive.'
'A strange dark, vivid dream.'
A dark hallucinated London forms the backdrop to this disturbing novel that confronts the nature of time, memory, violence, and loss.
An unnamed narrator spins stories both true and false through the summer streets. Discovers a nightmare world in the dark of the tangled city. Recreates from imagination a poetic architecture that holds loosely to the earth.
An elliptical journey where history and myth collide, where dreams and hallucinations interrupt a savage reality, where drunken philosophical conversations break down into madness. A surreal and uncomfortable exploration of the dark soul of the city, played out to a heavy Dub Beat and infused with the prophetic visions of William Blake.
