Hi everyone, I'm starting a new bookring for this quirky novel. A first novel by Australian author Andrew Lindsay, described by a critic as "Drips off the page like honey from a spoon. This is a stunning debut. Few writers can use language with Lindsay's precision and redolence."
>From the back cover: Gianni Terremoto is a baker. He is on a quest to bake his way into history. Gianni's lover's breasts have become the baker's mental mould for his rolls and sourdoughs and his daughter Francesca is about to become enshrined as the new local saint, their carnival martyr. In the year in question Good Friday and April Fool's Day coincide. Gianni, born an April Fool, decides to bake a hot cross bun the like of which there's never been. The ensuing hallucinations and food poisoning derail the entire town. This, then, is the story of the first Breadmaker's Carnival. When Easter and the Carnival collide, the town is changed forever. If you're interested in reading something a bit different and quite quirky, PM me (Scism) or email me off-list, with your location and shipping preferences. This one will start in Australia, then venture overseas. --Scism ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> $9.95 domain names from Yahoo!.
