Reviews

James Sallis praised the book The lecher, saying: Moore's novel bein consider "all the best comic writing, something beyond jokes, cartoons, rotating plates and crazy - twisted towers, something inextricable that disappears whenever we look at it: the sense that we might still be able to save our ever more hinabsinkende culture through a discreet simple humanity.
