5.0 out of 5 stars King Arthur redux, March 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: In a Pig's Ear (Hardcover)

Paul Bryers weaves an engrossing story around the return of a successful Hollywood filmmaker (Adam Epstein) to Berlin - where he had been born in the horrific final days of WWII. It is now the late 1990s and a murky,unsettling and slightly sinister post-reunification Berlin serves as the background to a story of ambiguous parentage and personal redemption. A growing sense of menace (neo-Nazi activity flourishes, Adam is drawn into what appears to be an intricate web of deceit...) and the cooly ironic tone of the (Merlin-like)narrator combine to make this an above average 'literary' novel with thriller overtones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique and Memorable, January 7, 2008

This review is from: In a Pig's Ear (Paperback)

I picked up In A Pig's Ear from a bargain bin at local book chain and have to say that it was one my most memorable reads. The author has a unique narrative style that provides a truly immersive text that is part fantasy, part thriller, part poetry. Definitely worth picking it up.
