Hope is the thing with feathers-
Emily Dickinson
A Thing with Feathers is a strikingly original and propulsive novel-in-stories inviting reflection on hope in our time.
A boy falls under the spell of an illustrated book. Its young hero, a boy his own age, answers a call to adventure, faces mortal danger, and survives it. Captivated, the reader is reluctant to part ways with his fictional alter ego. He begins composing his own tales for him. Those stories, each one a fable about hope, are this book.
In the spirit of boldly inventive, thought-provoking novels by writers such as Italo Calvino and Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez, A Thing with Feathers is both engrossing and inspiring, a book to be savored and revisited.
