Boojum's Powerful Central Metaphor in 'Haruspex'

Love the idea of 'reading the washing' as entrails were (are?) examined in certain religions.

Opens the way for so many related images and phrases, eg 'Priestess of the Hotpoint', let alone the whole debate about housework/sacrifice and the relationships between husband/wife/supplicant/priestess/deity.

The power of an idea, well-expressed.

A bio-bonaza from Boojum.
