Adult fantasy based on an idea of French author Raymond Roussel. Featuring both Raymond Roussel and the photography pioneer Eadweard Muybridge, the novel is set in an African town with European style architecture situated at the edge of an impenetrable forest called The Vorrh. Features two women who both are involved (differently) with a Cyclops and two hunters who roam the forest looking for each other, one armed with a bow made from his dead lover's bones and the other with a powerful rifle. There is also a logging operation carried out by semi-human slaves who have almost become part of the Vorrh.
An excellent book about the strangeness of life in general, with beautiful imagery of the Forest and various creatures getting lost in the Vorrh.
