back twisted beyond repair by catastrophic
events of "that night" when a burning fog of poison smoke from the
local factory blazed out over the town of Khaufpur, and the
Apocalypse visited his slums. Now just turned seventeen and well

fantasizing about Nisha, the girlfriend of the local resistance
leader, and wondering what it must be like to get laid. When Elli Barber, a young American doctor,
arrives in Khaufpur to open a free clinic for the still suffering
townsfolk -- only to find herself struggling to convince them that
she isn't there to do the dirty work of the Kampani -- Animal gets
caught up in a web of intrigues, scams, and plots with the
unabashed aim of turning events to his own advantage.

thought he knew. What is the source of America's high standard of
living? What drives entrepreneurs, innovation? What upholds hidden order that allows

Story of the greatest cut in the history of New Brunswick, when in
one winter only four teams of men and horses brought out 12,000
enormous logs, defies the efficient rapacity of tractor trailers
and chainsaws. That world of wood, the narrator says, was "every
bit as pitiless as the sea." Moving depiction of loggers
and logging: the way they live, the work they do, and their unsung
contributions to the construction of the larger world are
breathtakingly beautiful. The construction and history of Canada,
the immense natural resources that have been ripped from the skin
of this country, and the lumbermen and miners and fishermen who
accomplished those prodigious tasks, in concert with a nature that
was never benign, is more than subtext here.
