The Middle Bone

By Gonçalo M. Tavares

In the fifth book of Gon alo Tavares's Kingdom cycle, four lost souls find themselves entangled in a war-torn city.

The Middle Bone forms part of the universe of The Kingdom, the latest in the series following Klaus Klump: A Man, Joseph Walser's Machine, Jerusalem, and Learning to Pray in the Age of Technique. These brief, brutal novels are unified by their setting--a fictional European city under siege--and by the fundamental questions they cannot stop posing: How do affect, violence, and that mysterious force we can only call "evil" flow through bodies and populations? Why does the victim of violence so often become its perpetrator? What must an honest account of human nature look like in our time?
