Cataract City

Lost in the woods, two boys form a bond - one that will last a lifetime of broken hearts, broken bones and broken dreams. The new novel by critically acclaimed Craig Davidson is at once a tough, visceral story of masculinity and a powerfully sensitive elegy to childhood friendship

Report

I can't think of another prose stylist out there as visceral and kinetic as Davidson - there is plenty of brutality within these pages but it's described in such wonderfully textured and precise language as to render it utterly compelling... But for all its violence on display, this is a book with remarkable heart. The bonds between Owen and Duncan are explored with sensitivity and depth, and their symbiotic relationship is portrayed with an intelligence and complexity I've seldom encountered before Independent on Sunday
