        Bleeding Light

        by Rob Benvie

        In this deliriously patterned novel, Benvie’s disorienting brew of madmen, poets, and visionaries shifts from Germany to Kenya, India to Mexico City, suburbia to a Joshua Tree hideaway. The book unfolds in four interwoven stories: ill-fated love stories, stories about addiction to drugs and power, with a mix of violence and tenderness tempered by humour.  Connecting these disparate strands is a mysterious “bleeding light,” a gateway to other realms. What waits on the other side—and what becomes of those who pass into its radiance—is a mystery. Bleeding Light is a grimly funny and often trippy take on transcendence that reveals the symbolic fabric connecting us all.

A satirical campus novel, Dumb-Show shrewdly confronts the cultural politics of masculinity through a narrative that twists the structure of Henry IV, shadowing the rise and fall of a corrupt king, and interrogating a woman’s internal search to power.

De Angelis, an inscrutable northerner, travels to a small town perched somewhere in Sicily’s hinterland to negotiate a real estate transaction, only to find himself embroiled in a criminal conspiracy. What follows is a web of unsettling events, involving child prostitution and brazen killings that lead to the abrupt demise of his business deal. As De Angelis embarks on a reckless sleuthing, an unexpected turn of events sends him into a tailspin—forcing him to confront the type of man he really is.
