Allie Fox is allergic to the whole big, bad consumerist mess that
constitutes the late 20th century so he abandons modern America,
dragging his family to the depths of the Honduran jungle to escape.
His inventiveness and know-it-all arrogance enable him to carve out
his own vision of self-sufficiency from the jungle, creating an
ice-making plant to amaze the natives. He ignores the power and
blind cruelty of nature, creating his own disaster while the jungle
reclaims what it had lost. This won the James Tait Black Memorial
Prize and was made into a film in 1986 by Pete Weir. (Kirkus UK)
Allie Fox is going to re-create the world. Abominating the cops, crooks, junkies and scavengers of modern America, he abandons civilization and takes the family to live in the Honduran jungle. There his tortured, messianic genius keeps them alive, his hoarse tirades harrying them through a diseased and dirty Eden towards unimaginable darkness.
