Sophira van Ness is obsessed with spiritual purity, death, and hygiene -- and consoled only by chocolate and frequent baths. Disturbing, but charismatic, Sophira draws the reader into a world of haunted reality and perverse glamour, watching, unblinkingly, as she visits the Queen at her toilet and as she falls in love with a latter-day Jack the Ripper. "Lampshades" is both blackly funny and utterly original, and confronts banality and evil with a cool, unflinching gaze.
