Before his mother abandoned Sparrow Drinkwater on her way to Montreal, she told him that his father was a raven. A stiff bookkeeper adopts the abandoned Sparrow, who was raised in an insane asylum. Like an offbeat, modern-day Siddharta in search of the truth about his mother's disappearance, Sparrow roams through seedy Montreal, looks to a witch for friendship, turns some tricks in Geneva's boardrooms and escapes to the Caribbean. While describing The True Life Adventures of Sparrow Drinkwater, Trevor Ferguson bypasses time, space and anything else that stands in Sparrow's view of the world.
