Recognized for its vivid lyricism, harsh realism - and for its time, stark eroticism; he serves up these elements in a gripping storyline concerned with profound human concerns. And in addtion to being literature (anything which delivers at least 4 out of 5 of the above, or 4 out 5 of any similarly valued elements)- you might decide that this novel is something both other and more than Fantasy. A compelling, mesmerizing read.
