Glass Soup

For connoisseurs of imaginative fiction the novels of Jonathan Carroll are a special treat that occupy a space all their own. His surreal fictions which deftly mix the everyday with the extraordinary have won him a devoted following. Now in Glass Soup Carroll continues to astound . . . .. The realm of the dead is built from the dreams--and nightmares--of the living. Octopuses drive buses. God is a polar bear. And a crowded highway literally leads to hell.. Once before Vincent Ettrich and his lover Isabelle Neukor crossed over from life to death and back again. Now Isabelle bears a very special child who may someday restore the ever-changing mosaic that is reality. Unless the agents of Chaos can lure her back to the land of the dead--and trap her there forever.. Glass Soup is another exquisite and singular creation from the author January magazine described as incapable of writing a bad book much less an uninteresting one.
