Beast
Paul Kingsnorth
Graywolf Press, Minnesota. 2017. First Graywolf printing. Some light soiling to the front and rear cover, quite nice otherwise.
From the publisher:
"Beast plunges you into the world of Edward Buckmaster, a man alone on an empty moor in the west of England. What he has left behind we don’t yet know. What he faces is an existential battle with himself, the elements, and something he begins to see in the margins of his vision: some creature that is tracking him, the pursuit of which will become an obsession."
Kingsnorth has been a driving force behind dark ecology and his pessimistic, violent, and resigned view of history is in full display here. Not a linguistic challenge like his earlier novel The Wake, Beast is a tight narrative that reveals itself to the reader as they move through the swamp. Recommended.
