Joseph Smith is the author of The Wolf and Taurus. He lives in London.
[On The Wolf :] He is an intriguing narrator, brough to life in lean, elegant and rather beautiful prose * Guardian * [On The Wolf: ] It's convincing... Give that alpha male an alpha for eloquence -- John Sutherland * The Times * Like nothing you have ever read, except perhaps William Blake's daunting vision as articulated in 'The Tyger'... There is a wonderful, soaring artistry at work... Taurus is a subtle morality play; beautiful, relentless and unforgettable -- Eileen Battersby * Irish Times * Beautiful and cruel, ancient and new, it expands on Smith's previous novella, The Wolf, by adding more human cruelty into the mix. As a bull gradually awakens into its true self, its appointment with the corrida grows ever closer. It's a stunning but uncomfortable read and one Jill feels absolutely privileged to have read * The Bookbag *
