as her lover and pays for her audacity. A group of revelers experience horror at the abuses and vicissitudes of a strange visitor. We accompany a sick man on his journey through the landscapes of his feverish delirium, only to get lost along the way and arrive at the end that was not. A man emigrates from his homeland in search of a bait in the form of a woman and ends up facing a fantastic opponent. These are some of Pedro Cabiya's Tremendous Stories, the first book by the then very young writer and a fundamental text that forever changed the rules of the game in Caribbean literature." -- Translation provided by NLSDie Geschichte des Propheten Jesus (Isa)

The narrator is a brilliant creation - cultured, witty and unreliable. The novel captures the craziness of the music business and displays Pete Townshend's sly sense of humour and sharp ear for dialogue. First conceived as an opera, The Age of Anxiety deals with mythic and operatic themes including a maze, divine madness and long-lost children. Hallucinations and soundscapes haunt this novel, which on one level is an extended meditation on manic genius and the dark art of creativity.Call Him Mine: A Telegraph Thriller of the Year
