Powerful and imaginative..
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
In deborah Levy's powerfully imaginative and disturbing first novel the domon-summoning, manipulative, and magical Russian exile, Lapinski, reveals a city inhabited by the dispossessed, the successful, and the damned, as she records their broken dreams and self-destructive desires. A prophet or a liar, a seer or a fake, Lapinski calls forth a number of highly contemporary and lost pilgrims -- The Poet, The Prostitute, The Banker, The Golden Slut, The Anorexic Anarchist. Lust merges with violence, dissillusionment with revenge, and male with female as the characters live converge.
