'In The Indestructible Corpse Raimondo Cortese creates imaginary histories and speculative worlds in which he explores love and war, dreams and sex, good and evil. Travellers, lovers, mystics and mad people roam through his stories. Often funny, and dazzlingly conceived, The Indestructible Corpse introduces an irresistible new writer of fiction.' (Synopsis)
