From reckless dis-interments to a mid-summer gravediggers' strike to the illegal shifting of bones from untended graves, In the Land of Long Fingernails is the story of coming of age among extraordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. It offers up a succession of morbid events that most fiction writers would be hard-pressed to invent. Yet in its Barnum-esque parade of mavericks and misfits (undertakers, plot salesmen, drug-addled gravediggers), the book is a testament not just to unexpected friendship but also to late Sixties culture, and to the art and power of storytelling.
