Description
Silverback 'a Dark Unnerving Tale' is a visceral and unpredictable novel that delves into the complexities of masculinity. Told with real intelligence, skill and compassion, this is a seriously impressive portrayal of a peculiarly Ulster form of masculinity. The story follows Robert Rusting, on trial for the murder of his father, a former loyalist hardman, and James Fechner, a middle-aged surgeon drawn to the younger man before him. As their paths intersect, a close friendship forms, with a battle for control tacit but unspoken - and explosive. This powerful exploration of the line between fragility and violence is told in an unforgettable voice. In Silverback, John Boyne crafts a dark and unnerving tale that exposes the more ambiguous horrors gnawing within, rather than simply depicting the horrors on the street.
