Of Talons and Teeth

“This unnerving tale spits and writhes off the page. Hypnotic, mythic and visceral — its prose hewn from deep beneath the soil. Griffiths is a twenty-first-century Faulkner.”“Often untouchable and always utterly gripping, as British writers go Niall Griffiths is the very best in the business.”“Of Talons and Teeth affirms Griffiths as one my favorite writer’s working today. He’s a true marvel with language and in this historical exploration of man’s ongoing battle with greed and our inability to do anything but take from nature, comes the heart of a broken romantic. This is a real gem of a novel by a magician of a writer.”“Deeply human and knowledgeable about what it is to be human … The world Griffiths evokes gets into your bones.”

Niall Griffiths was born in Liverpool and has now lived in Wales for over a quarter of a century. An established novelist and professor of creative writing, his work has been translated into twenty languages, adapted for the screen and widely reviewed. His works include Grits, Sheepshagger and Stump.
