“Fluid and poetic as well as terrifying.” —New York Times Book Review
“Vivid, graceful, tautly constructed...the reader will feel the grasp of a splendid new storyteller.” –Tim O’Brien, author of The Things They Carried
This freewheeling black comedy features a bizarre cast of characters, including a Japanese man with a ball floating six inches in front of his head, an American CEO with three arms, and a Brazilian peasant who discovers the art of healing by tickling one’s earlobe with a feather. By the end of this hilarious tale, they have risen to the heights of wealth and fame, before arriving at disasters—both personal and ecological—that destroy the rain forest and all the birds of Brazil.
