Reading these two novels, especially the incredible Horde Contrevent, so confronts the reader with a carved tongue with verve, passion and precision, a language that has an epic to tell captivating stories and violent, and this result does not sobtient as easily quune any autofiction of one hundred and eighty pages that can be read quickly to be of his time.
