Su questo libro

Recensione:

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)

Deadbeat, downbeat but thoroughly believable, and evoked with the scary precision of a scalpel slicing through flesh... extreme, but like nothing else you'll ever read (Richard Rayner Los Angeles Times)

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)

Descrizione del libro:
