These Demented Lands by Alan Warner
An aircrash investigator haunts the hinterlands of an island - around the isolated honeymoon hotspot, the Drome Hotel - gathering the fallen pieces of planes that have been used in makeshift sheds and fences; but what kind of jigsaw is he really assembling as he places the runaway? A young woman makes landfall on the island, crossing the interior to arrive at the Drome Hotel- desperate, strange - and strangely familiar. . . . Meanwhile, DJ Cormorant is trying to organise The Big One, a rave on the adjacent airstrip, and from all over These Demented Lands come twisted characters - The Argonaut, the Knife Sharpener, The Devil's Advocate and the Crazed Troupe of Cattle Drovers - converging for one final Saturady night at the Drome Hotel. After the critical success of his first novel, Morvern Callar, Alan Warner has written an extraordinary, stirring sequel to Morvern's odyssey, confirming him as one of the most original, uniquely gifted writers to have appeared this decade.| SKU | Unavailable |
