The Wounded Billy Arioch

In his labyrinth of dark desire and pain, Billy Arioch's 'The Wounded' brings the reader to Bataille's crossroads: the guilt of escaping a world of war and terrorism, and an 'escape to the brothels', in a liberation from convention. Always surreal and philosophical, we meet the art student and exotic dancer M______, mischief in her eyes and wild at heart . The labyrinth that is 'The Wounded' is a wrestling with art, sex, philosophy, eroticism, dark desire, ever searching for a somnifère to ease the pain at the heart of all of us.
