Description
Brisk, bawdy and reckless, Simon Raven's writing style defies easy categorization. His Alms for Oblivion sequence is a wild and unpredictable ride, featuring a series of murders, suicides, affairs, and other misadventures that will leave you breathless. The final two novels in the sequence, Bring Forth the Body and The Survivors, bring the cycle to a close with a focus on death and retribution.
Those who think Anthony Powell's A Dance to the Music of Time is the greatest cycle of twentieth-century novels are sadly mistaken. Raven's characters are far more complex and colourful, and his writing is both scurrilous and scabrous. The Alms for Oblivion cycle is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves literary fiction with a dark and humorous edge.
With its unique blend of humour, social commentary, and literary flair, Simon Raven's Alms for Oblivion Volume III is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. If you're looking for a thought-provoking and entertaining read, this is a great place to start.
