paperback. Condizione: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. New York. 1986. Dutton. Advance Uncorrected Proofs. Very Good in Wrappers. 0525244441. 196 pages. paperback. Jacket painting by Hilary Gibson. Jacket design by Robin Rout. keywords: Europe England Literature World Literature. DESCRIPTION - In the little, normal-seeming tow…n of Rams Horn, once famous for its healing mud and its fine fossil bed, wreathed in legends and close to the poisonous swamps that mark the mouth of the River Sheep, things are decidedly abnormal: a seer who has waited years for her drowned husband to appear is suddenly besieged by her own demons; an African sailor arrives from the sea to ravage and plunder the widow and her daughter who have (unwittingly?)sheltered him; a group of small boys plot kidnapping and sexual violation; a doctor, unhinged by his desire for the voluptuous seer, turns to a medicine older than his own for a cure. There is lust, madness, a disappearance - we might be on the edge of tragedy or chaos. But because of the uncanny skill and vision of the author, we have instead a fabulous brew of mystery, sex and fairy-tale enchantment that leaves the reader smiling, uplifted, overjoyed: indeed, dancing with mermaids. Miles Gibson has worked a miracle of style and craft. DANCING WITH MERMAIDS is a book of dreams - dreams great writers sometimes get on midsummer nights. inventory #3665.
