The History Of Our World Beyond The Wave
Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature: Best Novel nominee (1998).
A tidal wave came, as high as the stars and hissing, and it washed away bathers, buildings, all civilization. Paul Sant survived by clinging to a surf mat. Eventually he found land – but unlike land he had ever know. Combining an allegory of good and evil with adventure that takes us through nightmare to salvation – including knights in armor, fish people called Gugs, and an ominous yelloe Volkswagon – R.E. Klein creates a world that is strange beyond our imagination yet familiar to the heart, a world where things may not be real, but they are true.
In the History of Our World Beyond the Wave, Klein imagines a world washed clean of materialism, cynicism, of the emptiness of modern life, a world where the metaphysical and the magical are again possible.
