Sobre este áudio
As the ritualistic killings pile up, Katherine comforts and inspires herself by meditating on cannibalism in literature, art, and history. She ponders subjects as diverse as the Donner Party, the fall of Dante's Count Ugolino, and the true story behind Gericault's The Raft of the Medusa. As the story races toward its frightening conclusion, Katherine, and the reader, close in on the true reason for her fascination with aberrant, violent behavior.
A shocking and enlightening modern Gothic novel, told in highly intelligent prose, A Carnivore's Inquiry is a sly, unsettling, subtle commentary on 21st century consumerism and the questionable appetites that lurk beneath the veneer of civilization.
©2004 Sabina Murray (P)2004 HighBridge CompanyResumo da Crítica
"Mesmerizing....More than the story of one deranged woman's obsession, the novel and its brilliant subtext hint at the ways American society devours the weak, while building a case for a blood hunger in human nature." (Publishers Weekly)
"Pursuit of the flesh reaches prickly proportions in this seductive thriller by PEN/Faulkner-winner Murray....Not for the easily queasy, this is a dark meditation on the vagaries that dwell beneath civilization's veneer." (Booklist)
