About this Book: |
|
All Three novellas involve a journey. In The Last Long Walk of Noah Brown, a young developmentally disabled man walks from Annapolis, Md. all over the south to New Orleans where he eventually saves several people and pets during the flood, in the canoe he built years before and pulled behind him wherever he went. In The King and The Clockmaker, the victim of a despot's irrational rage walks from a mythical city to his village across many miles and centuries. In The Vast Darkness, the journey is cultural and psychological with a strange twist at the end.
