A manticore is a monster with the head of a man, the body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion ...This novel is part of the acclaimed trilogy that also includes Fifth Business and World of Wonders, but it is not neccessary to read them in order, for The Manticore can stand alone as an exploration, by an exquisite stylist, of those regions beyond reason where monsters live.
