An unusual novel form is created by the use of an actual crisis inside and around the author's life as subplot to the fiction. The time span in the fiction is meshed to a contiguous time span of autobiographical time by a voice situated in the curious ethics of gut time. A powerful conceptual framework grounded in dark, personal despair, the startling first novel forgoes a new language. Lust bends syntax to follow the emotions that range from the simple to the impenetrable. In this process, pronouns, prepositions, and adverbs are altered - as illustrated by the absence of the suffixial adverb and the preposition of in the narrative prose. Despite its innovations Violence and Defiance, through its electrifying story, can be read like a conventional novel.
