Review:
A return to childhood.
The easiest thing to say about this book is that it looks simply fantastic, but this doesn't do it true justice. Drawing disturbing parallels with the Punch & Judy Show, the story of the narrators grandfather begins to emerge but is never fully explained, much like the chiropractor's in "Violent Cases".
In fact, this book is very much a companion piece to that earlier work, reflecting upon similar themes (how childhood & fiction combine) but taking you down a far more adult path.
Recommend? Certainly, but it won't be to everyone's taste...
