Reviews

[MJ Nicholls · Rating 3 out of 5]

Strange hodgepodge of a novel. The premise—two alcoholic writers think about bees to help conquer their alcoholism—soon unravels as Redgrove’s eccentric musings on the occult take over, leaving us with a patchwork of poems, a kooky stageplay, and vaguely lucid essays peppered around the central nonplot.
