小說追溯了紋身藝術家Cyril Parks極不平凡的一生:從少年時與母親相依為命,在英國一個海濱小鎮上經營著一家破敗不堪的旅館,到移居美國,再到重返家鄉的人生經歷。
少年時,Cyril跟隨Eliot Riley學習紋身藝術——更準確的說,是Eliot 硬生生把Cyril綁架過來,強迫做了他的學徒。母親與師父雙雙去世後,為了逃離即將而來的世界大戰,Cyril移居美國。在紐約康尼島上,Cyril改名換姓,成為了眾所周知的The Electric Michelangelo。隨後,Cyril遇見了神秘的馬戲團演員Grace,並深深為之著迷,陷入了前所未有的情感旋窩。(兼职翻译-徐曼曼)
Awards/获奖情况:"’Here is a writer of show-stopping genius’ Guardian; ’Her prose is rich, clear, cold, full of images and immensely sensual.’ The Times ’Hall is a writer to indulge, and her sensuous, poetic prose is every bit as evocative as and poured from a pocket at the end of a holiday.’ Daily Mail; ’Her gorgeously embellished prose compels the narrative, along with the beguiling vignettes she conjures up... the effect is intoxicating’ Financial Times"
