Esordio del musicista/scrittore australiano “E l'asina vide l'angelo”. Libro culto per entrare nelle cupe atmosfere del mondo di Nick Cave.
Outcast, mute, a lone twin cut from a drunk mother in a shack full of junk, Euchrid Eucrow of Ukulore inhabits a nightmarish Southern valley of preachers and prophets, incest and ignorance. When the God-fearing folk of the town declare a foundling child to be chosen by the almighty, Euchrid is disturbed. He sees her very differently, and his conviction, and increasing isolation and insanity, may have terrible consequences for them both…
Compelling and astonishing in its baroque richness, Nick Cave’s acclaimed first novel is a fantastic journey into a twisted world of Deep Southern Gothic tragedy.
