A post-blast, life-affirming fantasy, in which the lone survivor finds a baby in the kiva, rears him, loses him, goes Zen-crazy walking from Duke City to the Gulf of California, where he survives a very long time, and finds love and meaning among the dolphins and the octopi. When the dolphins find our Noah, they think they've found a fossil. This fantasy novel is more in the tradition of Gulliver's Travels and Robinson Crusoe than the modern interplanetary invasion genre. Here sensuality and curiosity have replaced violence and acquisitiveness. ".original and fascinating, surprising and uplifting at once.an exercise in modern mythology, creating something grounded in our world and yet speaking to our problems on a more symbolic level.a good tale about the art of living.
