The haunting story of a family, a neighborhood, and a girl who longs to escape. Shadowed by the loss of her mother, her family begins to disintegrate as the narrator bears witness to friends toying with death by train, by car, and by fire, until one disappears, maybe for good. She feels she'll follow her mother to an early grave if she can't escape the madness of her own decaying life.
Brutish with the soul of a poet; violent, but with the heart of a protective shepherd. This is not the one dimensional Polyphemus from the Odyssey, but a brilliant, mad, tragic and darkly humorous being who embodies the best and worst of men and monsters. Enter the world of Polyphemus. The son of a god and nymph, despised and cast off by his parents, and feared by all others. Enter a world of magical realism, where dreams and reality merge, where destiny is bent by the fates and gods, and at the center of it all is the anti-hero for the ages- The cyclops, Polyphemus.
