The follow-up to Guriel'sNYT New & NoteworthyForgotten Work is a mashup ofMoby-Dick, The Lord of the Rings, Byron, cyberpunk, Swamp Thing, Teen Wolf ...and more.Its 2070. Newfoundland has vanished, Tokyo is a new Venice, and many people have retreated to bonsai housing: hives that compress matter in a world thats losing ground to rising tides. Enter Kaye, an English literature student searching for the reclusive author of a YA classica beloved novel about teenage werewolves sailing to a fabled sea monsters nest. Kayes quest will intersect with obsessive fan subcultures, corporate conspiracies, flying gondolas, an anthropomorphic stove, and the molecular limits of reality itself. Set in the same world as Guriels acclaimed Forgotten Work, which the New York Times called unlikely, audacious, and ingenious, and written in rhyming couplets,The Full-MoonWhaling Chronicles cuts between Kayes quest, chapters from the YA novel, and guerilla works of fanfic in a visionary verse novel destined to draw its own cult following.
