Why the Tree Loves the Axe by Jim Lewis
The story of Jill, 27 who walks out of her marriage and into an old people's home, where she meets cantankerous, lusty octogenerian Billy, who entrusts a secret to her.
'Lewis's imagery is startling, rich and strange' Time Out 'Lewis starts with wonder and insistently works at it to produce a delicious intensity that is full of the transforming passion and unreality of being in the world' New Statesman 'Jim Lewis is an accomplished and erudite writer who wears these qualities lightly, making sure they dazzle and amuse rather than bewilder and confuse. His America is voluptuous and surreal' Erica Wagner, The Times 'Why the Tree Loves the Axe has the makings of a masterpiece.' Dale Peck 'Comes on like a speedball, a euphoric rush of language and image. This is the real thing. This is real.' Larry Clark, director of Kids
