Description
Peter Carey’s highly charged, recklessly funny new novel is narrated by artist Butcher Bones and his idiot-savant brother, Hugh. One stormy night, mysterious American beauty Marlene turns up, clad in a pair of Manolo Blahniks. Claiming that the brothers’ neighbour owns an original Jacques Leibovitz, she sets in motion a chain of events that could be the making or ruin of them all (back cover).
