Synopsis
Following the ecological destruction of a futuristic version of Seattle, the city's inhabitants are forced to flee. An obscure author, who has stayed behind to care for his terminally ill mother, is drawn in by a mysterious group called "The Guild of Saint Cooper" who convince him to help salvage the city's future by rewriting its past. But the changes become greater than those he set out to make, and the city begins unspooling backward into its own alternate history--a world where giant rhododendrons begin springing up through the pavement, mysterious lights begin haunting the night sky, and Special Agent Dale Cooper might be the city's only hope for salvation. Inspired by the works of Paul Auster, Haruki Murakami, and Robert Bolano, Shya Scanlon upsets expectations and conventions to explore the responsibility of the artist and the consequences of meddling with nature and history in his most wildly unpredictable work yet., An obscure author, drawn in by the mysterious Guild of St. Cooper, must rewrite the history of a dying city. But the changes become greater than those he set out to make, and the story quickly unspools backward into an alternate history--a world populated by giant rhododendrons, space aliens, and TV's own Special Agent Dale Cooper. An editor at The Nervous Breakdown and co-founder of Monkey Bicycle , Shya Scanlon won the John Hawkes Prize in Fiction at Brown University, where he received his MFA. He lives in New York.
