About this audiobook

Signora Psyche Zenobia seeks a scenic view from a cathedral tower but finds herself trapped in a literal bind. As the minute hand of the giant clock descends like an executioner's blade, the story spirals into a surreal mix of slapstick and gore. It is a biting satire on the literary pretenses of the day, delivered with a sharp, physical edge.
