by JohnBurnside (Author)
The finest and most disturbing novel yet from the author of "The Dumb House" and The Mercy Boys. Twenty-five years ago a rapist stalked the streets of Cambridge attacking young women and subjecting them to violent assaults. These events form the background to this extraordinary novel in which circumstances force a young male photographer to examine his relations with women, and with other men. Over one dramatic summer, he becomes involved in a series of sexual intrigues as he journeys towards self-definition. What emerges from an atmosphere of tension and terror is a moving examination of male tenderness, individual autonomy and personal grace.
