Review
"'A sulphurous mixture of ferocious violence and high-flown philosophy' Prospect 'A mixture of thin-lipped Chandleresque backchat and of idioms more icily subversive' Observer 'I cannot think of another writer so obsessed with the skull beneath the skin' The Times 'Raymond writes with a stomach-churning exactness about murder, madness and mutilation' The Times 'If you think of the act of writing as a game of chicken between the author and his talent, then Derek Raymond is one author who achieves his ecstasy by sailing off cliffs. Everything about I Was Dora Suarez shrieks of the joy and pain of going too far' New York Times"
