About This Item
US: Vintage, 1991. Paperback. Good. Spider is gaunt, threadbare, unnerved by everything from his landlady to th e smell of gas. He tells us his story in a storm of beautiful language that slowly reveals itself as a fiendishly layered construction of truth and il lusion. With echoes of Beckett, Poe, and Paul Bowles, Spider is a tale of h orror and madness, storytelling and skepticism, a novel whose dizzying styl e lays bare the deepest layers of subconscious terror.
