Praise for Blood on the Saddle: ?Reig?s prose threatens to burst through the confines of the story; his writing fizzes with ideas, hilarious asides, colourful characters and absurdist dialogue? Always entertaining, always though-provoking? Times Literary Supplement ?An exuberant mix of comedy, satire and mystery, all overlaid with a dollop of surrealism? The Times Raymond Chandler meets Italo Calvino? highly entertaining? An engaging romp for intelligent people? Blowback ?Destined to end up on hipster bookshelves next to Murakami, Bukowski and Philip K. Dick? Spanish author Rafael Reig is surely a cult in the making?absurd and brilliant? SFX Magazine
Narrated by the ghost of a murdered woman, A Pretty Face is set in the Madrid of Reig?s previous novel, Blood on the Saddle. It?s the recent past reinvented so that it seems like the future: the oil has run out; the Spanish Communist Party has been overthrown by a US Army invasion; Spain is now part of the USA and Anglo is the official language. The rich live in gated communities, the poor wherever they can, in fear of genetic engineers who are testing neuroprotein K666, which might conquer death itself. The late Lola Egu?bar, writer of children?s fiction and daughter of the retired discoverer of K666, uses her post-mortal invisibility to unravel the events preceding her killing. She has a sidekick too, the equally unreal Benito, a randy, one-eyed, teenage character from her series of successful kids? novels. A remarkable blend of crime, science fiction and satire, A Pretty Face is bursting with Rafael Reig?s inimitable power of imagination and sense of mischief.
