Brothers is an original, phantasmagoric piece of fiction that is steeped in myth and fable. In a world of "gruesome, gargantuan creatures, two-headed fish, turtles with shells as big as islands, whales with mouthsso large they could consume entire cities," two brothers set out to find their dog of a father. The elder brother is missing an arm, while his younger brother has been fashioned by his mother from that arm. Excess and adventure abound as fresh, original writing draws us in to "surreal, hostile worlds." We meet the leech-boys, a wooden puppet the brothers drag from the sea to become a member of the family, sixpig-children, and more, all conveyed in a tone that lies somewhere between delirium and a disturbing dream.
