adam_mcphee 's review for:

Beast by Paul Kingsnorth
2.0

Houellebecq has a line in his latest, where he says that all masterpieces are dead ends. And I think that's part of the problem here. How could you possibly improve on something like The Wake?

Still, Kingsnorth's style is amazing, and it's interesting how much of it carries over from the self-imposed discipline in his debut.
