Fire Eaters

About This Novel

David Almond still sets the background of his story in the countryside of northeastern England. The cold and gloomy environment, his father's long-term illness, the rigor and cruelty of the school, the psychological haze after the war, and the panic that a new war seems to be about to break out are intertwined. All of this is presented from the perspective of a little boy, and everything makes people feel apocalyptic and anxious. As a survivor of the war, a fire-eating man makes a living with seemingly self-destructive performances, but all this is nothing compared to the cruelty of war. This work continues Almond's anti-war theme and makes people think deeply.
