Description
Set against the backdrop of Europe's slide into Fascism, Blue of Noon is a dark and compelling account of depravity and violence.
The novel follows its narrator as he navigates a surreal world of squalor, sadism, and drunken encounters, his internal collapse mirroring the fighting and marching on the streets outside.
This is a powerful exploration of the dark forces beneath the surface of civilization, torn between identifying with history's victims and being seduced by the monstrous glamour of its terrible victors.
