Darwoon Dyreez (Paperback)

In a tiny almost-ghost town at the edge of civilization, a colorful assortment of characters find ingenious and artful ways to adjust to the harsh desert climate and the absence of amenities. The narrator, a transplant from the big city, observes and adapts to the local customs, while trying to contribute innovations of her own. The improbable happenings in this community of misfits range from celebration to black humor to authentic tragedy, all narrated in an invented dialect that immerses the reader in the alternative reality of Darwoon. A work of fiction, based on real events in a real place.
