Julius Winsome

Julius Winsome, by Gerard Donovan - the acclaimed and prize winning author of Schopenhauer's Telescope - is an extraordinary novel of love, solitude and violence.

Julius Winsome lives in a cabin in the hunting heartland of the Maine woods, with only his books and his dog for company. That is until the morning he finds that his dog has been shot dead - and not by accident. Gerard Donovan weaves an extraordinary tale of revenge that is also a tender and heartbreaking paean to lost love. Narrated by the unforgettable voice of Julius himself - at once compassionate, vulnerable and threatening - it reads like a timeless, lost classic.
