In 1999 the device turns up in public as part of a piece of performance art which the artist calles "Resurrectionist Expression." By the author of "The Pied Piper's Poison." Acknowledgments, 233p.

The blind hero of the title story spends his days roaming the beaches of Kenya, his fingers ploughing through sandy granules of grace and intrigue, his German shepherd at his side. And then there are whale-watchers and fishermen, hunters and mystics, living lives uncompleted or undone, caught, memorably, as they turn toward the reader. ***A natural and a scientific storyteller, Doerr explores the human dilemma in all its manifestations: longing, grief, indecision, heartbreak and slow, slow recuperation. Shimmering with elegance and invention, The Shell Collector is an enchanting and imaginative book---' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***First impression of the first UK edition of the author's first book, in its original dustwrapper, in very nice bright condition.
