The Expendable Man

You know when NYRB and Persephone both publish a book it's going to be good. This was fantastic. Hugh was a great character to follow. The set up and resolution were so well done. The setting is so oppressive. I'll have to read more Hughes.

A wrong-man-type story with some fascinating qualities. It really took some gut-wrenching turns as it went on, and had some well-realized realized geography.
