$19.95Lean, funny, odd, disturbing... and it’s just getting started! A young man wakes up with a bandage on his head and can’t remember anything. He follows his (dead) cat through a buzzing hole in the bedroom wall – but I’ve said too much. You’ll finish it quickly, then flip back through and marvel at Burns’ bizarre, colorful illustrations. Eagerly awaiting the next installment.

In lustrous prose, Adam Leith Gollner draws readers into a Willy Wonka-like world with mangoes that taste like piña coladas, orange cloudberries, peanut butter fruits, and the miracle fruit that turns everything sour sweet. Peopled with a cast of characters as varied and magical as fruit smugglers, inventors, explorers and epicures, this extraordinary book unveils the mysterious universe of fruit, from the jungles of Borneo to the prized orchards of Florida's fruit hunters to American supermarkets.
