SAWN OFF is the story of George Manville's family tree shot through with a violent that man can barely define. It begins with the father who holds an axe over his children's heads as they sit bound and gagged in the basement. It continues through the imprisonment and certain torture of the wife and the final hysteric exit of their young daughter into the forest.
Childhood, love, folly, incapacity to understand the real world are narrative points where Manville stakes. We cant help but be gripped by his ability to highlight our most vulnerable moments. Yes, he shows us ourselves as children answered not by buttered puddings but by boiling iron and forced intimacy. No, we dont need this strain, no one does. Yet, Manville insistently acts on that truth and makes us respond in an unexpected manner.
SAWN OFF outrageously suggests that the practice of writing fiction is a facility reserved for a few vital and skilled candidates. But all he really has done is given his readers a glimpse into chaos run rampant upon the souls of Degenerates and failed Saints alike.
