5.0 out of 5 stars
King Arthur redux,
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.

Unique and Memorable,
By Michael D. (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
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.
