Unsettling Genius,
By
This review is from: Thousand Days for Mokhtar B (Abacus Books) (Paperback)
Short-story gems. With perfectly suave urbanity, Bowles writes little Poe-ian tales of utter pathological insanity, from the point of view of the psychoprotagonist. And here's the thing; you are totally WITH this madperson, every step of the way--understanding the slipslide motives, even sympathizing. Only at the very end does the full horror of what's been told actually sink in--and then the effect is HAIR RAISING. Masterful, oh yes, but not for the faint of heart. Best put this one aside if you're feeling low, or it might give you nightmares.
