Travel in the Mouth of the Wolf

When a freak accident involving an infallible gambler a truck full of chickens and a gas pump leaves an easygoing young man named Iple deaf he decides to travel to Antarctica. Tagging along with a team of contrary often childish scientists he is the sole member of the expedition to keep his head as the days stretch and the nights become non-existent. While wandering the tundra Iple finds the frozen body of a runaway scientist whose ghost asks him to detour towards an enormous sheet of translucent ice. Below the sheet with her four legs in the air is Isabella a dinosaur and the last DNA repository of a wealth of human and pre-human knowledge. What follows is a mesmerizing detour into our species fear and wonder at the nature of prediction. Paul Fattarusos vision is a statisticians wet dream and a mystics worst nightmareor is it the other way around? Fattaruso trained as a poet spins a lyrical and highly visual modern day fable a creation myth for the generation whose gods look more like dinosaurs than any monster before or since.
