Wounds begins with two lovers in bed. Their lovemaking throughout the book forms a recurring leitmotif, a counterpoint to the examination of the spiritual death of the characters. <\/p>\n

In a South London environment of pub and fairground, home and work, the wounds of 20th century experience are evoked in prose which is both lyrical and precise. Kingy in her garden, \u0091loved by the most handsome women in the world’; Maura the barmaid: \u0091I prefer the little, thin men’; Glisten the Mayor: \u0091It’ll be take-over time and too late’ — these and the many other characters, both black and white, illustrate the basic theme of the novel.<\/p><\/div>\n
