Captagon is a short, forceful mashup of assorted texts detailing instances of wartime cruelty and institutional malfeasance. Broken up into brief chapters whose characters come and go across eras and continents, their whereabouts handily mapped out in an index at the back along with a list of all the author’s wide range of sources. Taking in art, music and literary criticism, the Philip Best worldview is consistently compelling but be aware, pretty it ain’t.
