Told in three narrative periods of Edgar Heathcliff’s life. This novel portrays the struggles of modern men in a deeply complex and honest way, unapologetically to cement the integrity and sensibility of this work.
Think of the success of Joker 2019, and the very same story told completely differently back in 1976’s Taxi Driver, and all the struggling men books and films between these masterpieces. The Ballad has a place amongst these titles.
