About This Item

UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn.FINE/NFINE.No owner inscrptn,and no price- clip to dw/dj.Crisp,glossy,laminated,colour pictorial illustrated wrap-round artwork by Irene von Tresko dw/dj; with negligible shelf-wear and creasing to edges - no nicks or tears present - and the usual/normal, slightly sunned/faded spine/backstrip.Top+fore-edges bright and clean; contents bright,tight and near pristine.Unblemished,plain maroon paper-covered boards with bright,crisp,stamped gilt letters to spine/backstrip and immaculate,plain white endpapers.UK,8vo HB+d/dj,1st edn,1-175pp includes half-title+title pages,contents list,and 15 chapters and 4pp blanks to rear. Freddy,a gawky,passionate,and plain adolescent,is on the run,convinced of having murdered the mother we all desire,and hate.Through Freddy's fantasies - or are they realities? - we begin a journey that takes us back, through the nineteenth, the eighteenth, the sixteenth centuries,and then beyond time into the interior of imagination.Story follows story,born of the flesh and blood of family,dead bodies and holy communion.The passage is not easy: disappointment,humiliation and danger wait for innocence in bloody rooms.But after fracture comes repair,after cold comes heat,after violence comes peace,after obliteration comes life.The instinct for survival thrives in secret places: in rebellion,in a desperate split of self,in the thirst for knowledge and sex (which keeps whores and scholars in thrall to one another) and in the delicious subversion of cross-dressing. Freddy comes back - to begin again.Bold and sexy,playfully mirroring its themes in its very pace,tone and form,this beautifully written novel is as rewarding as it is astonishing. 'Flesh & Blood' is an extraordinary feat of imagination.
