Rivers
This is a strange book. I suppose post modern is what some would say. Historical fiction is what others would call it.
It’s about rivers and how rivers – the Thames, Delaware, Schuylkill, St. Laurent, Ole Man River - are time. How cities are time. How everywhere you step, you step into, out of, from the shadow of time.
Jordan is found in a river and named for a river. He travels like a river while his mother is the anchor, is the ship, is the mass of land at the end.
And then there are the princesses who he meets and who tell stories like Robert Browning wrote poems.
And that is the story.
