An Octopus's Orphan
language
(Keats Finch Farm Sept. 1, 2011)
, First Edition edition
A monumental coming of age adventure about a 17-year-old boy-becoming-man snatched from his landlocked home by a Giant Pacific Octopus. Torn between two lovers, and destined for cross-species fertilization by a brainy Cephalopod with a plan, Radisson Glass suddenly faces a future of enormous consequences. This 700-page epic novel by the reclusive, celebrated author of ORWELL'S LUCK (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Boston) is a saline landmark in young adult fiction. Such an outlandish story has never before been told. Such a deeply personal, earth-moving story can never be told again, not even by the likes of America's greatest man-of-words-and-water, Mark Twain. -- Daschell Potts PhD, Chairman, Daschell Potts PhD Foundation for Literature
