Hang Him When He Is Not There
Hang Him When He Is Not There | Nicholas John Turner
3 posts | 1 read
New Year's Eve, 1989. At a residential care home in suburban Australia, fireworks explode in the distance while an elderly man dies in troubling circumstances. Decades later, a proof-reader, disfigured by a childhood accident, prepares to meet a celebrated and reclusive novelist. Between these two figures a subtle and intricate web is woven, implicating the members of a mystical cult, the victim of a beheading, an impostor artist, and the enigmatic presence known only as Agent Vell.Hang Him When He Is Not There is a novel unlike any other. With keen intelligence, stylistic flair, and a bold philosophy of literary possibilities, Nicholas John Turner has crafted a globe-spanning, time-bending narrative that throws its own readers into the action and scours the darkest reaches of the human psyche: jealousy, betrayal, duplicity, cowardice, and -- above all -- vanity.

Bailedbailed

Damn, the opening chapters were so incredibly riveting but the author and his editor really fell asleep farther in. I have just read a chapter and a half of some of the crappiest prose ever, with eyerollingly god-awful sex scenes to boot. I‘m done. Bailed 70% of the way in.

LeahBergen 70%?? I‘d have to finish it by that point. 😆😆 Or at least skim read it! 5y
shawnmooney @leahbergen Not for a million bucks. 🤢🤢😂😂 5y
Cathythoughts I could do a 70% bail too 👍🏻 5y
