At the Beginning there was Night

“Frank Barsch can certainly teach us something. That in the long-run, for example, we can’t deny that there’s no escape. His novel can be seen as a sort of confrontation. It confronts the world and how it can’t be.” (Franz Schneider, RNZ)

Frank Barsch is an author and literary academic. He holds teaching posts at a number of universities and is a lecturer in Creative Writing. The appeal of the author’s second novel is his use of language; a poetic language which is both suggestive and exciting. This thriller shows the extent to which novels of this genre can reflect our world.
