Synopsis

In this surreal and lyric debut novel, an environmentalist accused by a North American petro-state of "economic terrorism" takes refuge in a compound for vagrants. Surrounded by a variety of social and political outcasts--dubious charity providers, a spiritual healer, a man with two right eyes, contraband exotic species, and a theatrical company that may be a front for prostitution--the "terrorist" gradually embraces the exile of his improvised home, a shipping container, where the division between imagination and external reality will irrevocably blur.
