Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

A "dark, wildly inventive fantasy. . . . A nightmarish story that's hallucinatory, tightly structured and ultimately redemptive."--Kirkus

"A wild, surreal and thought-provoking ride." --San Francisco Chronicle
"'Graham's measured reading steers a course through nagging crossroads of perception, allowing layers of reality and fantasy to wash over us in a very effective, if nonlinear, listening experience."
--Booklist

"To call Jack O'Connell's novels imaginative, or even original, doesn't begin to say it . . . There's something both exciting and unnerving about [his] kind of hallucinatory writing." --The New York Times Book Review
"Reed's performance is effortless . . ."
--AudioFile

"The Resurrectionist is a brilliant, wild, heartfelt novel. It seems, like all of O'Connell's work, at once to bear tribute to its predecessors and to come out of nowhere, a stew whose various lumps, gristles, fillers, and spices have long since cooked down to a single, amazing richness. O'Connell's books are one of a kind -- again and again."--The New York Times Book Review

"O'Connell's gift for building tension within a scene is equaled by his ability to create wonderfully dark and elaborate stage sets upon which to play out his dramas . . . [He] is wilder, edgier, more far-ranging and extravagant than his fellow genre-jumpers." --The Boston Globe

--Booklist

Reseña del editor:

Sweeney, a druggist, takes a job at the fortresslike Peck Clinic, where he hopes his comatose son will be "resurrected" as other patients there have been, but finds that salvation may instead lie within a comic book.
