I love dark, compelling novels. Anything that grips you by the throat and makes you read to the end, no matter how strange and twisted things get - This is one of them. The book centres around the story of a man, raised in a community of religious zealots, hypocrites and degenerates. The characters are extremely colourful and you feel like you are there, watching the ever downward spiralling series of events unfold to the bitter end. This book is a complete contrast to Nick Caves other novel 'The Death Of Bunny Munroe'. Written during the transition period from the band The Birthday Party to The Bad Seeds, and you can definitely feel the darkness surrounding the author in this work. Full of religious iconography and people's personal prejudice and resentment towards each other, you will at times love and hate the characters in this novel. This book is an absolute bargain and I am so glad to have added this to my collection. A must have purchase.Vollständige Rezension lesen
