kittiwake"The Land of Laughs was lit by eyes that saw the lights that no one's seen."
Schoolteacher Thomas Abbey goes to the small town of Galen Missouri with his girlfriend Saxony, hoping to persuade the daughter of a famous children's author to let him write an authorised biography of her father. Another fantasy story in which nothing fantastical happens until the half-way point, with another socially inadequate male protagonist who does not know how to relate to women at all. I am sensing a common theme to Jonathan Carroll's novels now that I have read three of them, but they do have original and very interesting plots so I'll carry on reading them.
