Synopsis:

Rare Book

Review:

"[When] Maine's evocative prose takes control, as in the telling of the creation myth recited by the elders on K's island, he creates something uniquely strange and beautiful...If you think you've seen this story before, you're right, but never quite like this." - THE WASHINGTON POST "Like its protagonist, 'a Daliesque construct of unexpected leaps and alarming juxtapositions,' Monster, 1959 is both ungainly and oddly endearing." - THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW" --New York Times Review
