In the wake of\u003cem\u003e The Becoming,\u003c\/em\u003e Rem+Rom become hyper-aware of their current state and build a log raft to \"riverse ingenear\" their father's route that berthed them unceremoniously at the mouth of the \"Colonvia\" river—all in the name of \"westword x-pantson\". To log their passage, the bastard brothers jury-rig their own DIY \"landgauge\" derived in part from Chinook jargon, Spanish, pirate and surfer slang, and backwoods Pidgin English (disseminated from a \"courier\" pigeon's \"messyjizz\"), and a steampunk \"riding\" system \"cannonballized\" from books they \"in- heretic\" from their estranged \"riverend (f)author\" and decipher adrift on the river (his \"illitterit\" journals (rife with typos and dim-witted dogberryisms), The \"Eventshores\" of \u003cem\u003eHuckleberry Finn, Finnegans Wake\u003c\/em\u003e and the Discovery doctrine of \"maninfest dustyknee\")—a written script that also marries \"spittin' imedge\" with text, down to \"customb\" typefaces cyber-rigged from a refurbished Remington, and that \"messysorrylie inkloots\" drafty copyedits to prove illegitimacy [sic] and that reads \"backwoods\" (by \"trail + earhorror'' they learn to read right to left since no one \"tot\" them \"udderwise\"). A dyslexic \"hystorickle\" story-line \"devilips\" in time (in the \"reel moondough\") as Rem+Rom take turns \"scooby divine\" into the choppy floodwaters beneath the raft and pipe up the feed (akin to a dream log), and \"off corse\" their twined storylines reflexively \"merehorror\" the bona fide riding of A RAFT MANIFEST—or \"Huck Finnegans Wake,\" if you will—exposing its progeneration.","brand":"Calamari Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061410939120,"sku":"9781940853093","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781940853093","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
