Rust and Bone

Rust and Bone conjures a savage world of prizefighters, gamblers and sex addicts; dogs fight to the death and bare-knuckled men fight for survival on the most extreme margins. And yet these gritty stories are tempered by gentleness, the quiet understanding in the most intimate relationships. A whale trainers accident, a boys life endangered where human vulnerability is so close to the surface, the humanity of these characters heralds redemption and hope.
