An inventor living at the beginning of the Enlightenment keeps
journals reflecting on everything from his inventive lovemaking to
his discovery of the first binary code, caffeine stimulation, the
insanity defense, and the memory of birds. First published in 1996
to international acclaim, Eric Darton's Free City is the fictional
journal of L., a seventeenth-century inventor caught in a
precarious love triangle, even as his beloved northern European
port town teeters on the brink of catastrophe. In a tale laced with
bawdy humor and elements of the fantastical, L. must balance the
demands of his patron-a rapacious entrepreneur-against those of his
sorceress lover. As L. attempts to avert calamity, he finds himself
joined by the most unlikely of allies. Weaving together historical,
political and absurdist elements, Free City resonates more
profoundly today than ever.
