Royal Family

Royal Family | William T Vollmann

5 posts | 1 read | 2 to read

Since the publication of his first book in 1987, William T. Vollmann has established himself as one of the most fascinating and unconventional literary figures on the scene today. Named one of the twenty best writers under forty by the New Yorker in 1999, Vollmann received the best reviews of his career for The Royal Family, a searing fictional trip through a San Francisco underworld populated by prostitutes, drug addicts, and urban spiritual seekers. Part biblical allegory and part skewed postmodern crime novel, The Royal Family is a vivid and unforgettable work of fiction by one of today's most daring writers.

Ok. This is not book related at all but can I just say how much I love that she is now Dame Emma Thompson?! She's the end-all be-all of actresses to me. (Next to Frances McDormand) photo cred to KensingtonRoyal on IG. ❤️😎

Royal Family | William T Vollmann

When they‘d been children there‘d been a fallen log in the river, and John had walked on it, keeping his balance, instructing his brother: If you don‘t think about it, you won‘t fall.—That would be a perfect epitaph, thought Tyler malevolently, crushing the space invader raindrops with his windshield wipers.
