A streetwise shaman searching for a missing girl. Sounds like your typical mystery. Maybe even a bad mystery.
But 100 pages in you realize that A.W. Hill's Nowhere-Land is anything but typical. And no where near bad. It's incredibly well-written, scholarly, philosophical, and about as far out there as you can get in its subject matter. Hill's pioneering new ground here, and it's fascinating to watch.
One of the few mysteries that really attempts to engage the reader on an intellectual level.
