Part fantasy, part mock-biography, part Latin American magic-realism, Elizabeth Knox\'s Black Oxen sweeps its characters and its audience up in an unsettling and enthralling journey through time and place. Carme Risk and her \'not-quite-human\' father contain and connect the action, becoming anchors through 50 years, three countries and numerous lives. Most of the people encountered are from Lequama, a Latin American country that had an inspirational revolution in the 1980s; the young, attractive leaders continue to live life on the edge, through love affairs and government posts, until the 2020s. Carme is in narrative therapy in California in 2022, relating in her own words her experiences in Lequama, about her step-mother, her half-sister, her disappearing father and her friends, who were all touched by the revolution. The breadth of years enables Knox to portray people and events through Carme\'s adolescent and mature eyes, reporting and reinterpreting violence, confusion, emotion and loss. The list of characters from each of the three locales before the novel has begun gives a hint of the magnitude of Knox\'s work. While Knox doesn\'t always engage fully with her characterisation and therefore with the reader, the story and characters are still disturbing and exhilarating enough to intrigue you and keep you reading. --Olivia Dickinson 503 pages.

A fabulous and richly peopled otherworldly tale with echoes of Borges and Marquez, Black Oxen is the story of Carme's Risk's pursuit of her beautiful and not quite human father through two worlds and three changes of identity. In her forties, in the year 2022, Risk has entered narrative therapy. Her memories and her father's journal take her from the Eden of her earliest childhood to dusty, poor, Lequama, a Latin American country, where she and her father become involved with the slightly mad young leaders of the recent revolution and where everyone seems to practice black magic. And finally to Risk's life in northern California, still in thrall to her elusive father and now the widow of Lequama's most notorious torturer. Black Oxen features intrigue, machete murders, battles and bacchanals. Full of unforgettable characters, from the Taoscal chief, who is chosen because he is the luckiest person in the tribe, to a sexually ferocious therapist, and a frail billionaire who wants to live forever, it is a provocative, disturbing, ingenious and beautifully written novel where reality, fantasy and imagination dissolve and clash.
