The storyline is haunting and the narrative riveting and poetic, flowing from the pen of a master storyteller. Truly a hypnotic read even this early in the tale of an imprisoned pedophile and his aspiring acolyte.

The narrative alternates seamlessly with the significant formative events in the life of the confined pedophile, his real time conflicts with his sexual engagements with Clayton, and his torrid feelings for the young girl whose letters fuel his sensual memories of Alice, his own virility, youth, and passions. The past, present, and future intertwine like a perfect storm of promised and delivered evil. Addictive read.

The End Of Alice (1996) by A. M. Homes. I just started reading but I already feel like it is a masterclass, a riveting read right from the beginning. I have missed the complexity of novels like Lionel Shriver's We Need to Talk about Kevin . I will be adding some depth to my transgressive fiction selections.
