The Book Of Crow - Paperback

by Lyle Rexer (Author)

The Book of Crow was born while the author pondered weak and weary over many a volume of forgotten lore, and became a fact during the isolation of Covid. Crow is a series of meditations and short stories in the voice of a crow, wised up, funny, vulnerable and bemused. Composed by the alter-ego of a fictional, bird-obsessed docent at the American Museum of Natural History, The Book of Crow touches everything from revolution and billiard parlors in Latin America to avian necrophilia, pandemics, and the second coming of Rodan, Toho Studios' greatest science fiction creation. Crow travels the world to escape ennui, idolizes Colin Kaepernick, and meets the poet John Berryman in his last moments. Following Crow's flight path will take readers from wherever they are to places they never imagined. Crow's physical appearance is brilliantly rendered by the drawings of Donald Alberti.
