Product Description

Synopsis

Juan has left his past behind for the seductions of the city and the Crystal Realm - a world of ever-changing fashion, daily plastic surgery, mind-altering drugs and bizarre sex. He effortlessly climbs the social hierarchy, gaining money and power until the city thrills to his every move - but something is missing from his life, which perhaps only the picaresque troupe of troubadours who are trekking across the desert in search of him can explain. Grief is both a unique dystopia, or perhaps an interpretation of the present, and a remarkable psychological fantasy, disturbing, witty and moving by turns.

4.0 out of 5 stars Giving Me Grief, 2 Jun 2005
By A Customer
What to say about this book? I've never read its like. Although there is a hint of Golding's Pincher Martin about it. Is it literary fiction, sci-fi or psychotic fantasy? In fact it's all of them, walking a line between mainstream and genre fiction which means fans of both will enjoy it. Cracking.

It's terrifying, hilarious, gripping, disturbing and moving. The narrative alternates between a young man in an odd, unidentified city, and a quirky, endearing and clever group of harlequin-clad misfits trecking across the desert. The stories elide with each other in a surprising way and the reader is never spoon fed. The significance of the book needs to be teased out. But it really is a profound and unique text.
