The daughter of a diplomat disappears and resurfaces across the world as a deadly woman of many names.

A monk in sixteenth century England suffers the dissolution of his monastery and the loss of all that he held sacred.</p><p>The characters in <em>The Man Who Shot Out My Eye Is Dead</em>, Benz's wildly imaginative debut, are as varied as any in recent literature, but they share a thirst for adventure which sends them rushing full-tilt toward the moral crossroads, becoming victims and perpetrators along the way. Riveting, visceral, and heartbreaking, Benz's stories of identity, abandonment, and fierce love come together in a daring, arresting vision.</p>
