The Eye of Goliath

An attractive, intricately organized, experimental labyrinth novel written in the best traditions of American classics of the 20th century.

The action of "The Eye of Goliath" unfolds immediately after World War I, a destructive wave that swept across the world. The novel tells the story of a psychiatrist and his patient, who miraculously survived, left alone in a lighthouse amidst a fierce, raging sea. In the violent and brutal connection established between them, the boundaries between sanity and madness, between good and evil, dissolve. Muccio has created a novel based on classic plots and original in its structure, gathering a variety of genres: from travelogue to confession. The pages of this book echo Borges and Ocampo, tracing the supernatural tradition of Stevenson and Poe, yet "The Eye of Goliath" remains a deeply psychological work about the essence of man, the nature of cruelty, and the imprint that war leaves on us.
