Love

The man has actually come to tell his lover that he wants to leave her, but as soon as he walks in he realises he won't be able to tell her. The woman rolls a joint. They smoke it. And as they drift into another state of mind, he approaches the border zones between being and nonbeing, between living and imagining. Or is it between life and death?

Reviews

A hypnotically beautiful novel

—— Daily Telegraph

This is not a tale of a love gone mad, but of the madness of love itself

—— Express on Sunday

Sliding imperceptibly from prose into poetry, Nádas creates an intense atmosphere that mingles fear with love

—— Scotland on Sunday

A romantic, anguished, searching work

—— Sunday Times

Desai has a gift of opening up a closed world and making it clearly visible

—— Sunday Times

A meticulously realised otherworld...ambitious and scrupulously crafted

—— SFX

A world of evocative magic, brutal warfare and poetry unlike anything I'd read before...the publication of a second novel is always a tense time - was the author a one hit wonder? Fortunately for us, Deadhouse Gates triumphantly proves that this is not the case for Steve Erikson
