Infra [Paperback]

Ron Dakron (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 1987

A failed artist receives a letter. It's a photo of his lost love, brutally murdered. He knows who the killer is-a young Venice mafioso. He does nothing, until the dreams start. Then he plots vengance. He buys a gun in Paris, then sleeps on trains towards death. He slays the mafioso. Yet the killer starts chasing him, through Spain and nightmares. And now the fun begins.

"infra is a wild ride . . . a level of writing that attains a very convincing and enviable poetic reality all its own . . . I loved it. infra will be a hard act to follow." --The Seattle Weekly, November 9, 1988, Matthew Kangas

"'[infra]' is a book that should be read by other writers and by readers committed to good writing." -- Jerome Gold, author

"Dakron is a poet and the language of this novel is eroticised poetry married to story." -- Judith Roche, Ergo!

This review is from: Infra (Paperback)

Totally digging it. The pacing, the mystery - not just the plot, but the emotions and perceptions of the protagonist. Palpable texture and raw poetic phrasing. Rod Dakron has bona fide style. Infra is a great escape for all senses.
