Augustino and the Choir of Destruction

With Augustino and the Choir of Destruction, literary legend Marie-Clair Blais concludes her famed trilogy set on an island in the Gulf of Mexico. Written in her trademark style, which includes surreal surprises and idiosyncratic characters, this book presents a rich tapestry of humankind: Our Lady of the Bags, announcing the end of the world; Charles, a great poet cut down by AIDS; and Caroline, a transvestite Cinderella and artist. Most amazing yet typical of the imaginative power of Blais' work is the title character, a clairvoyant child writer who challenges the destructive forces in everyday life.Blais, Marie-Claire is the author of 'Augustino and the Choir of Destruction ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780887847523 and ISBN 0887847528.
