Balzac of the Badlands

Balzac, Homo Sapiens Sapiens Jones, The Mermaid, Kurdish militants, Irish gangs, and English firms - what do they have to do with a missing woman? Set in North London, the novel investigates friendship and loss, the shifting planes of past, present, and future, looks into how each of us manipulate time and space through memory and art, and asks the question - are we all in possession of unearthly powers? Balzac of the Badlands is neo-noir at its neo-ist.
