This is one of the most original novels I have read in recent
years. Carey creates an entire new world complete with First and
Third World politics, detailed history, geography, culture. He
peoples it with characters who are simultaneously larger than life
and utterly believable, and through his hero's voice he moves
easily from almost unbearable pain to slapstick humour. Review by
Jane Rogers, whose novels include 'Island' (Kirkus UK)
If you are not a citizen of Voorstand, you may not be familiar with
the strange case of Tristan Smith and his illegal appropriation of
Bruder Mouse. Even if you are a citizen of faraway Efica, you will
only have heard rumours about the juggling, the somersaulting, the
Burro Plasse tunnel, and the motel on the border... Here, for the
first time, is the truth about Tristan Smith. This fully annotated
edition follows Tristan's career from his birth in the Republic of
Efica in the year 371 to the present day.
