What other book gives you the point-of-view of the pedophile? Without simply vilifying him?

A heart-rending classic. I can't believe I hadn't read it earlier. Morrison sees into so many human souls. ...more

This book is soooo depressing. The beginning and the end...especially the end is quite scarring. A little girl coveting blue eyes...

The imagery is what makes this book astounding. It is the essence, the pulp of this book.

It will move you.
