Of Talons and Teeth by Niall Griffiths
An historical novel set in Wales before the Industrial Revolution, as human love tries to flower amidst squalor and serfdom.
"This unnerving tale spits and writhes off the pageHypnotic, mythic and visceral — its prose hewn from deep beneath the soil. Griffiths is a twenty-first-century Faulkner."
“Often untouchable and always utterly gripping, as British writers go Niall Griffiths is the very best in the business.”
"Of Talons and Teeth affirms Griffiths as one my favorite writer’s working today. He’s a true marvel with language and in this historical exploration of man’s ongoing battle with greed and our inability to do anything but take from nature, comes the heart of a broken romantic. This is a real gem of a novel by a magician of a writer.”
