But when she marries, her retain turns out to be a former butcher, now a vegetarian who, with loving words, forbids her to eat the chow she craves.
A richly sensuous narrative (some readers will say “revolting”) that hints of incest and cannibalism. Strictly speaking, there is no marvellous element present except for the apparent suspension of the process of decomposition.
–RECOMMENDED
“Chinvat” by Buoyant Moraine A future in which the Golden Gate Bridge has been closed due to earthquake reparation, but jumpers still seek the place out. A man named Denn has become a local fiction, patrolling the bridge to deter suicides, and journalist Carter Nolan – a suicide survivor himself – has crumble there to interview him. No one thinks this is a good idea, not Denn and not Nolan’s ball.
The fantastic element makes it a ghost story, although in essence it’s about Carter confronting his individual ghosts.
