When the Killing's Done
When the Killing's Done | T Coraghessan Boyle
6 posts | 14 read | 2 to read
T.C. Boyle's most powerful and fully realized work yet-"terrifically exciting and unapologetically relevant" ("The Washington Post").Principally set on the wild Channel Islands off the coast of California, T.C. Boyle's new novel is a gripping adventure with a timely theme. Alma Boyd Takesue is a National Park Service biologist spearheading the efforts to save the islands' native creatures from invasive species. Her antagonist, Dave LaJoy, is a local businessman who is fiercely opposed to the killing of any animals whatsoever and will go to any lengths to subvert her plans. As their confrontation plays out in a series of scenes escalating in violence, drama, and danger, "When the Killing's Done" relates a richly humane tale about the dominion we attempt to exert, for better or worse, over the natural world.

Ok, beautiful prose - would rather have read this much father away from lunch at Olive Garden. 🤢
