The Magnificent Boar

Pter Demny weaves this novel's entirely unique voice through a taut mixture of emotions and the mystical. The book's world, its subject, is both strange and-like anything exotic-bewitching, compelling, and, ultimately, immersive. Stylistically, the text seems baroque; it recalls the dense and rhapsodic character of living language. But its various allusions, leading each and every way, surround the reader, who, reaching the end, feels more thoroughly entertained than they first expected.
