Born under a curse at the exact moment of the 9\/11 attacks, he looks back on two remarkable utopian experiments-one religious, the other secular-in early 19th-century New Harmony, Indiana. He then looks ahead to his grandfather Sam Coverdale's visionary effort in the millennial year 2000 to create a new \"Boatload of Knowledge\" on the banks of the Wabash. His cast of characters bears an unsettling resemblance to Mary Shelley's circle of Frankenstein intimates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat could go wrong? From a macabre scroll found under a labyrinth to a dramatic fiasco on the world stage to a heady balloon ride to freedom, these characters plus one prescient turtle hang on together as friends and lovers, narrowly averting suicide within the ranks. Along the way, a Byronic character merrily cites strong evidence, hitherto overlooked, that Shakespeare himself was a suicide. Against the odds, they emerge with lasting romantic bonds and a vision that the enigmatic Woman in Green will someday prosper on Planet Earth. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51370190274783,"sku":"9781771806169","price":41.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/gv-xkuDwf_9781771806169.webp?v=1789153611"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/marcia-scanlon.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
