These lively and eclectic narratives, by the author of "Shadow
Without a Name," move from the scorching heat of the Gobi desert to
the glacial heights of Mount Everest: here, among others, are the
stories of a Scottish engineer who builds an exact replica of the
city of Edinburgh in the dunes; of a dying, cross-dressing pilot
who allegedly climbs Mount Everest and then mysteriously
disappears; and of a monk who conjures the devil to prove the devil’
s existence.
Based on history, legend, and an awe-inspiring power of invention,
"Antipodes" delights, terrifies, and entrances.
