"Put Franz Kafka and Benny Hill together in a Brighton seaside guesthouse and they might just come up
with Bunny Munro. As it stands, though, this novel emerges emphatically as the work of one of the great
cross-genre storytellers of our age: a compulsive read possessing all of Nick Cave’s trademark horror
and humanity, often thinly disguised in a galloping, playful romp.” —Irvine Welsh, author
of Trainspotting
"In Conroy's first novel in fourteen years an unlikely group of Charlestonian teens forms a friendship in 1969, just as the certainties and verities of southern society are quaked by the social and political forces unleashed earlier in the decade. They come from all walks of life, from the privileged homes of the aristocracy, from an orphanage, from a broken home where an alcoholic mother and her twins live in fear of a murderous father, from the home of public high school’s first black football coach, and from the home of the same school’s principal. Echoing some themes from his earlier novels, like The Great Santini, The Prince of Tides, or Beach Music, Conroy fleshes out the almost impossibly dramatic details of each of the friends’ lives in this vast, intricate story, and he reveals truths about love, lust, classism, racism, religion, and what it means to be shaped by a particular place, be it Charleston, South Carolina, or anywhere else in the U.S.($37.00)".
This action adventure is set in Jamaica in 1665. Pirate Latitudes was written before Crichton's death last year, and discovered in his files by an assistant.
