Pow!

Beschreibung

Features a benign old monk who listens to a prospective novice's tale of depravity, violence, and carnivorous excess while a nice little family drama - in which nearly everyone dies - unfurls. In this title, the author also treats us to a cornucopia of cooked animal flesh - ostrich, camel, donkey, dog, as well as the more common varieties.
