Like the initial tale,
Beautiful Blood begins in the 1850s in the town of Teocinte, in a world
“separated from our own by the thinnest margin of possibility.” It is a
landscape whose dominant feature is the massive, long-dormant body of an
ancient dragon that has lain there, motionless, for millennia, exerting
a powerful but mysterious influence on the surrounding area. The novel
tells the story of Richard Rosacher, an ambitious young medical student
who becomes fascinated by the properties inherent in the dragon’s blood.
His exploitation of those properties launches him on a career that
leads him from the shabbiest quarter of Teocinte to a morally ambiguous
position of power, wealth, and influence. Beautiful Blood takes us
though the entire length of that career, which is marked throughout by
the invisible agency of Griaule, who may well be the driving force
behind Rosacher’s astonishing ascension.
The novel also
encapsulates the events of the initial Griaule story, events that
dovetail neatly with the current tale. Meric Cattanay, the eponymous
protagonist of “The Man Who Painted the Dragon Griaule,” makes a welcome
reappearance here. Meric’s decades-long involvement with the dragon
begins at roughly the same time as Rosacher’s. Their stories proceed
along parallel but independent lines that occasionally intersect,
providing us with a view of familiar events wider and deeper than any we
have had before. The result is a colorful, involving narrative with
profound metaphysical overtones, one that raises—but does not
answer—significant questions. Is the dragon merely a bizarre but
entirely natural phenomenon? Or is he/it the manifestation of some
divine purpose? And to what extent are the actions of men like Meric and
Rosacher the reflections of its implacable but enigmatic will?
Questions such as these animate the narrative at every turn, adding an
extra level of resonance to one of the most original and important
fictional creations of recent years.
