Quentin S Crisp

Shrike Quentin S Crisp

"This short novel is Quentin S. Crisp's most accomplished work yet, subtle and strange and powerful, a bleak and moving tale of psychological horror. The main character, Brett Stokes, is an Englishman in Japan who's making use of a few weeks away from home to try to figure out where his last rela- tionship - and his life - went wrong. We're warned at the beginning that "nothing happened" - and this turns out to be true, in more than one sense." - Lisa Tuttle
