The Dolphin People

Life of Pi meets Lord of the Flies in The Dolphin People, a darkly comic “postmodern novel par excellence” (Sydney Morning Herald) from Torsten Krol, the author of the critically acclaimed Callisto. While fleeing Germany after World War II, a family arrives in Venezuela and encounters a Stone Age Amazon tribe that mistakes them for dolphins in human form. But the ruse can only protect them for so long in this madcap, imaginative tale.
