In the 1830s, the Baltic city of Königsberg was scandalised by a lascivious pastor, accused of encouraging such extreme sexual acts that two young congregants died from arousal.
John Banville looks at 19th-century Germany’s answer to the hot priest.
A compelling story of a car crash and a family holiday set amidst omnipresent technological development. In this month's @Lit_Review I reviewed @bruceholsinger latest novel Culpability @EuropaEditions
Delighted by Ian Ellison’s @Lit_Review review of The Glass Mountain. “Gaskill’s painstaking efforts reveal some of the troubled person. In this rich, engrossing book he succeeds in his aim of writing ‘a story that in good conscience feels true’.”
