'Superb ... Pilgermann is history, metaphysics, a tangle of mysteries, profound
and simple' Guardian
It is 1097 and a traveller arrives in the great, walled city of Antioch with a
vision of a beautiful and mysterious geometric design that will change the lives
of all those who see it. Pilgermann is a mesmerising recreation of the world of
the Crusades, following its unlikely hero and those he meets on a journey of
picaresque horror across a Europe of hatreds, visions and a desperate wish for
salvation.
'A dark treatise on the mysterious nature of things ... The world according to
Pilgermann is a brutish place borrowing from Hieronymus Bosch, pilgrimage
narrative, allegory and the historical novel' The New York Times Book Review
'A strange and beautiful work' Evening Standard
