description: In this book the author has written a stunning lament about the beastliness in humans &amp; the violence in nature, about the darkness of hope abandoned &amp; the blood-price of hope regained. The power of his novel is its informed irony for what has been, &amp; its measured fury for what may yet be. It is bewitching work of profound &amp; prophetic vision.
