Synopsis

The Red Crocodile - a novel in four volumes - is a contemporary Chaucerian tale of love and lust, written in true mediaeval style using plain language – a bawdy romp which takes the characters across a decadent world and towards the end of the Twentieth Century.

In Moon Goddess (the second volume of The Red Crocodile) Sibylla gradually realises her sexual powers and doesn’t hesitate in forming physical relationships with several men. Nick is insanely jealous and is driven to commit murder through his irrational passion for Sibylla. Throughout the novel, Sibylla pursues her idea of a perfect relationship, only to be dissuaded from a conventional life by Nick and her own desires.

À propos de l?auteur

Struben Clinton was a child in the 1940’s and a student in the 1950’s in Dublin, Ireland, in the days when it was a place frozen in time, under the collective thumbs of Eamonn De Valera, John Charles McQuaid, and Pope Pius XII. “I lived in Blackrock around the corner from a house with a blue plaque commemorating that James Joyce lived there. Ulysses was still not for sale in Dublin though I couldn’t find anything in it shocking enough to merit it being banned. I left Ireland aged 22 and from then on lived in many different parts of the world without any of them ever becoming home. Dublin was a place where I belonged. Travel, music, art and language all inspire my writing, as does the complexity of human relationships."
