Women In A River Landscape

Composed of dialogues and soliloquies from a cast of late-middle-aged or elderly figures, this book dramatically portrays a terrified and terrifying world. As its characters whisper, hint, frightenedly hush each other or exchange confidences during sleepless nights, this book's highly-polished milieu of politicians and financiers, industrialists and PR men takes on a ghastly shadiness like that of some Jacobean drama of covert atrocity, lurking menace, blackmail, eavesdropping and pitiless power struggle . . .
