Description
This epic tale of the North is a vibrant moral fable for our time. Set in the near future in the remote fishing village of Kuinak, Alaska, Sailor Song blends satire, adventure, and dark humor in a story of survival, identity, and community.
In Kuinak -- a last outpost of the American frontier not yet swallowed by environmental havoc and reckless development -- the townspeople live on the edge of change. Colorful refugees from the Lower Forty-Eight and DEAPs (Descendants of Early Aboriginal Peoples) find their lives turned upside down when a Hollywood crew arrives to film the beloved children's story The Sea Lion.
What begins as promise soon becomes a battle for the soul of the town, as greed, fame, and exploitation clash with tradition, resilience, and nature. With his trademark wit and a spectacular range of language, Ken Kesey delivers a powerful, rollicking novel -- part satire, part sea adventure, and part cautionary tale about America's future.
