"A fast-paced, suspenseful dystopian picaresque, part Huck Finn and part bizarro-world Swiss Family Robinson..."
---Kirkus
Long-listed for the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award and finalist for the Crawford Award. Title short story listed for the 2000 O. Henry award.
Incidentally, the ptarmigan to the left in the image above is not in pain, nor dead. He or she is about to leap from a cliff. The cliff is difficult to see from that vantage/shade. I cannot say why the ptarmigan is about to jump. But remember, many birds tend to fly, so I think the fellow will be fine.
Thank you.
