OF CAROBS AND OLIVES
next

Part who-dunnit, part who's who. The most famous of biblical tales, re-examined, re-interpreted, then tossed through time and space, and served up Blumenthal-style in the sweaty backwaters of Twentieth Century Southern Italy.

To be read on whatever level you like. You want symbolism? You got it. You want to work out which household name's riding under what alias? Go for it. You want a literary novel? Well, maybe. You want an intriguing murder-mystery that'll keep you guessing 'til it pulls the rug from under you? Then Palieri's your man.

"It's a bit like Dan Brown re-wrote that part of The Bible, then Stieg Larsson re-wrote Dan Brown's version to make it less formulaic and give it some depth."
