The Chess Garden or the Twilight Letters of Gustav Uyterhoeven Hansen, Brooks
Very Good.
Hardcover. Stated 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 1995 Farrar Straus Giroux. New and unread; store shelfwear: small rip to back jacket. Superclean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight. 481pp; B/W illustrations. Language: English. NOTE: Large format-- cannot ship outside U.S. via Flat-Rate envelope; may require additional international postage. 'This remarkable second novel by the coauthor--with Nick Davis--of the critically acclaimed Boone is a masterpiece of surreal storytelling in the tradition of Lewis Carroll, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien. Set at the turn of the century, it is the tale of a physician who leaves his home, with its chess garden, in Dayton, Ohio, to minister to victims of South Africa's Boer War. As he undergoes a spiritual conversion, the doctor proceeds to send his wife a series of letters chronicling an imagined parallel universe called the Antipodes where the game pieces from his garden collection have come to life to guide him through a fantastic and fateful adventure. A writer with a rare gift for evocative description, Hansen deftly weaves allegory and history in this compelling narrative, which most readers will have a hard time putting down. Highly recommended.'--David Sowd, Library Journal, 1995.
