"A chilling, thought-provoking journey into madness and the macabre. Not for the faint of heart, but its impact is undeniable."Booklist Married couple Celia and Martin are brutally attacked on their drive through the Irish countryside. The attack leaves Celia with a violent schism in her mind, seemingly existing in two places at once: one the "real" world, the other a howling maelstrom of abstract monstrosity. Of her husband, there is no trace...until weeks later, when Martin is discovered in a hospital for rare and abnormal diseases, his body spliced together with that of an unknown woman. And they are very pregnant. PUPPET'S BANQUET is a "diseased Gothic"; a hallucinatory treatise on medical abuse; the systemic disease of colonialism and patriarchy; and the limits of human perception.
