Like its precursor, The Light is Alone, Malingerer is what might be called a discursive inverted cross.

And yet the collection is also devoted to perpetrating a kind of violence against those evils that are distinctly unpleasant, specifically the Luciferian nature of religious and political fundamentalisms, abominations of conscience.
