The parabolist

Ruddock, Nicholas. (Author).

Summary: Part comedy, party mystery, this debut novel is a searingly smart and funny novel about murder, sex, medical school, poetry, and vigilante justice on the streets of Toronto in 1975. Told through interlacing narratives, in the style of Vincent Lam, the story funnels towards the eye of an unsolved crime: on a rainy summer night a woman is raped and very nearly murdered, but for the intervention of two drunken vigilantes.
