Set in contemporary Belfast, Silverback opens with the trial of
Robert Rustig, accused of murdering his father, a former loyalist
hardman who, once that line of business was over, had taken to
cross dressing and performing as his female alter ego in local
nightclubs. James Fechner, a surgeon, is on the jury, and finds
himself drawn to Rusting, who is acquitted but perhaps not
innocent. After the trial, he inserts himself - in another guise -
into Rusting's life, and the two form a close, ambiguous and dark
relationship. Silverback is a powerful portrayal of toxic
masculinity. The voice is unforgettable - plain, bold, sometimes
even playful. The conclusion is as devastating as it is unexpected.
