Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 440 pages. How do you describe the indescribable? Polyphonic and schizophrenic, Simon Louvish's book is in your hands. Beware. In it Richard the Lionheart rises from his tomb in the Abbey of Fontrevaud, minus his heart and his guts, to mingle with the tourists of early 1990's Europe. Eventually he finds a job as a pastry chef in a Beirut night=club. Meanwhile back in a sanatorium in East Lothian, failed novelist Danny Hohenlohe contemplates murderous revenge against his publisher, McTeague. Also in residence is Avram Blok, the ex-lunatic, emigre-Israeli and hero of three previous Louvish novels, who has begun a new life as a lay therapist. However, the grey calm of East Lothian is about to be shattered. The arrival of Doctor Petros Angelopoulis, war surgeon and Fallen Angel of Beirut, is followed soon after by his mysterious disappearance. And the Western powers are about to embark on their modern crusade against Saddam Hussein of Iraq. Chaos looms. From these and many other threads, Louvish weaves his most ambitious novel to date. Blek, surreal and comic by turns. It is an extraordinary work of fiction that challenges in the most engaging way the manner in which the West has consistently perceived and treated the East. 21 Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
