In this surreal and lyric debut novel an environmentalist accused by a North American petro-state of economic terrorism takes refuge in a compound for vagrants. Surrounded by a variety of social and political outcasts--dubious charity providers a spiritual healer a man with two right eyes contraband exotic species and a theatrical company that may be a front for prostitution--the terrorist gradually embraces the exile of his improvised home a shipping container where the division between imagination and external reality will irrevocably blur.
