La quatrième de couverture (1994)
Jonathan Carroll is no longer just a cult author.
His previous novel,
After Silence,
placed this gifted and award-winning writer squarely in the mainstream.
The San Francisco Chronicle raved,
``After Silence is filled with people who feel
as real as one's closest friends, observed with a penetrating, and
sometimes brutally chilling, clarity ...a taut, original work whose
excellence fulfills the promises made by this remarkable
authors over the past dozen years.''
In From the Teeth of Angels, Jonathan Carroll returns to
that unique literary landscape that he paves with magic and wonder.
While vacationing in Sardinia, Ian McGann meets Death in a dream.
Death promises to answer any of McGann's questions, but if he
fails to understand the answers, he will have to pay with his life.
In Los Angeles, successful film actress Arlen Ford is no longer
happy living in the Hollywhood fast lane. She gives up
everything-her career, her house, her glamorous lifestyle-and
moves to Austria where she meets a passionate war correspondent.
From the start, their relationship is all-consuming.
Arlen realizes she has been waiting for this man all her life.
And in Vienna, the terminally ill Wyatt Leonard suddendly
discovers that he has the ability to raise the dead.
How all three of these extraordinary fates converge is at the
hart of Jonathan Carroll's most daring and provocative novel,
in which he dares to ask-and answer-the ultimate question:
What is Death?
Jonathan Carroll is the author of eight novels and one
short story collection, including
The land of Laughs,
Outside the Dog Museum, and
After Silence.
He lives in Vienna.
Advance Praise for Jonathan Carroll's ``From the Teeth of Angels''
``Jonathan Carroll writes books that nibble around the edge of the soul.
His territory is the dark and the nightmare.
He writes the kind of books that Anne RIce would write if she had been
a village girl growing up near the castle in Transylvania.
Mr. Carroll entertains and he chills.''
