First Sentence
"Shotgun Coen." The desk lieutenant nudged his aide and winked to the auxiliary policewoman, a blonde portorriquena who worked the switchboard during off hours and had a weakness for detectives; the lieutenant's aide hoped to soften this portorriquena by tweezing the hairs in his nose and trying French perfume, but he couldn't have told you the color of Isobel's underpants, or named one beauty mark above the knee.

phew,

This review is from: Isaac Quartet: Blue Eyes, Marilyn The Wild, The Education Of Patrick Silver, Secret Isaac (Hardcover)
I haven't read the whole quartet yet, but Charyn's novels are dark abstract fantasies, and I love them. I started a few years ago with Maria's Girls, and had trouble finding any other Charyn novels after that. Sometimes they can be hard going but stick with it they are worth while. All the characters are obscurely eccentric and inhabit an exotic almost halucenogenic world.I can't recommend them enough. Charyn is a genius. Buy them and be amazed.
