Title: NYC vs. Madagascar
Review: On one level, Sapphire Sea is a compellingly fast-paced tale of a rich man in a poor man's world. But there is much more going on in this novel. That Globalisation/Technology now permits a rapid reveral of power structures (a la 9/11) is now a truism. Unsurprisingly, 'literary' novelists have largely missed the boat on this one. This novel is not perfect and suffers from hurried editing, but its' central vision of a rich new yorker crouching in the shrub to evade a mob that would burn him alive is chillingly relavent in today's world. That the New Yorker may well deserve that fate makes the novel that much more intriguing.
