The Ventriloquist's Tale by Pauline Melville
"The whole purpose of magic is the fulfilment and intensification of desire," claims the ventriloquist-narrator as he tells his stories of love and catastrophe. The novel is a parable of miscegenation and racial exclusiveness, of nature defying culture and of the rebellious nature of love.| SKU | Unavailable |
