Matthew Thompson’s Running with the Blood God is a book about collective resistance that thinks it’s about maverick individualism. The former Fairfax reporter’s follow-up to My Colombian Death (2008), which detailed his decision to leave the newspaper game in search of a life less ordinary, sees him taking to the road again, this time visiting Iran, the Philippines, the Balkans and Oregon, following what he calls, without irony, “the maverick trail” in search of “necessary mongrels” who “keep life juiced up with a visceral dose Sometimes, you feel pain during an intercourse and have levitra india improper blood flow to the penile region.

What Thompson actually finds, however, is people leaning on one another in the face of tyranny, inequality and cultural marginalisation, drawing their strength from communities, collectives, cells and tribes. While Thompson doesn’t exactly miss this point, he tends not to afford it much merit, either, regularly disregarding the evidence of his experience or else shoehorning it into the contours of his theme.
