I haven't read the whole quartet yet, but Charyn's novels are dark abstract fantasies, and I love them. I started a few years ago with Maria's Girls, and had trouble finding any other Charyn novels after that. Sometimes they can be hard going but stick with it they are worth while. All the characters are obscurely eccentric and inhabit an exotic almost halucenogenic world.I can't recommend them enough. Charyn is a genius. Buy them and be amazed.
