A brilliantly funny and bizarre novel from the visionary author of
LITTLE BROTHER, now published for the first time in the UK. Alan is
a middle-aged entrepreneur who has devoted himself to fixing up a
house in a bohemian neighbourhood of Toronto. This naturally brings
him into contact with the house full of students and layabouts next
door, including a young woman who, in a moment of stress, reveals
to him that she has wings - wings, moreover, which grow back after
each attempt to cut them off. Alan understands. He himself has a
secret or two. His father is a mountain, his mother a washing
machine, and among his brothers are a set of Russian nesting dolls.
Now two of the three nesting dolls, Edward and Frederick are on his
doorstep - well on their way to starvation because their innermost
member, George, has vanished. It appears that yet another brother,
Davey, whom Alan and his other siblings killed years ago, may have
returned ... bent on revenge. Under such circumstances it seems
only reasonable for Alan to involve himself with a visionary scheme
to blanket Toronto with free wireless Internet connectivity, a
conspiracy spearheaded by a brilliant technopunk who builds
miracles of hardware from parts scavenged from the city's
dumpsters. But Alan's past won't leave him alone - and Davey is
only one of the powers gunning for him and his friends.
