Jerusalem

Set in a half square mile of industrial decay and demolition in the author hometown of Northampton, England, the novel explores eternity, memory, and human history through a kaleidoscope of literary styles. The narrative weaves together the lives of saints, kings, prostitutes, and derelicts across multiple planes of existence and distinct epochs of time. Blending elements of historical realism, fantasy, and metaphysics, it presents an opulent mythology centered on the struggles and visions of ordinary people.
