While I was doing my Literature degree, i was highly taken by a character in Thomas Pynchon's V who thought os himself in the third person. now, I sometimes wonder if a great many of us do. Destroyer certainly does and makes artistic currency out of it.
Destroyer's Rubies comes from 2006 and is restless, dramatic and ever so slightly unhinged. It is also authorly. It feels like a fantastic weekend trawling bars in Manhattan with your most melodramatic and unhinged friend with some highly improbable near escapes from tragedy but somehow living to tell the tale. .
