AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'In a strange and richly compelling story, Rosie Scott reveals the subterranean world of seventeen-year-old Adan Loney. The deceptively simple narrative slides beneath the surface into the primal world of fears and dreams he can't articulate - the force that drives him as he travels up the coast into the surreal landscapes of Australia's far northern tropics, in search of a meaning he only half understands, burdened and inspired by his movie dreams.'

I am too alone in the world and not alone enough to make every moment holy. - Rainer Maria Rilke
