“Book Descriptions: Wailing Madness Shame and Death concerns the tragic implications of fatalism, the anticipatory futility of life, and ultimately time and its unknowability.
The novel opens with a young James seeking the counsel of a psychologist, having recently learnt the violent horror of his own becomings. What follows is a spiralling odyssey entailing life and death and every preordained affair between both extremes; a stage upon which, like Oedipus, sons (and daughters) are fated to murder their fathers."
Written by the author, this does not come close to doing justice to the book, which is far more than its plot, of strange conceptual origin, and of hideous parentage, which is why fiction collects such aspects of life as presented here.” DRIVE
