A complex, multi-threaded narrative exploration of the reality of words – the power of words to inflict harm, the existence of words as a form of action.
The storylines, centred around a group of ‘creatives’, gradually escalate to a form of satire on the violence and passion to be found lurking between the lines., ending in a horrifying conclusion.
Along the way, the novel raises provocative questions that seek to balance accountability on the one hand against freedom of expression on the other.
The style is taut, fast-paced, lean and highly-tuned to the nuances of irony.
