More about the book
Volcano Days is a brilliant first novel about madness, desire, and damnation. It is the story of a man who comes to inhabit a detailed and voluptuous state of paranoia. With aspects redolent of Camus and Conrad, this finely wrought tale of delusion and discovery is written in a poetic prose that is astonishing in its music and texture, yet comic in its acute self-awareness. An exquisitely dark and sensual meditation on the nature of sanity, Volcano Days is a gem of language and sensibility.
