Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:From the moment a three-legged dog limps into the life of Police Chief Frannie McCabe and drops dead at his feet, McCabe finds himself in a new world of disturbing miracles. His small town of Crane's View, New York, has long been a haven of harmony and comfort — but now he finds himself afflicted by the inexplicable, by omens that converge to throw his life into doubt. And what he does over the next few days may have consequences for the whole world... Review:"Jonathan Carroll is a cult waiting to be born." Pat Conroy, author of The Prince of Tides Review:"Although the story's resolution is weaker than its buildup, this wonderfully offbeat novel will further augment Carroll's growing reputation as the pop writer's pop writer." Publishers Weekly Review:"Jonathan Carroll is a master of sunlit surrealism — his beguiling, impossible novels are like Frank Capra films torn open to reveal the Philip K. Dick or Julio Cortazar mechanisms ticking away at their cores. The Wooden Sea is one of his funniest, strangest, and most melancholy offerings." Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn Review:"Jonathan Carroll has the magic. He'll lend you his eyes, and you'll never see the world in quite the same way again." Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods and creator of The Sandman Review:"Jonathan Carroll is as scary as Hitchcock, when he isn't being as funny as Jim Carrey. If you've never read this wonderful fantasist, buy this book. You'll stay up all night and thank me in the morning." Stephen King, author of The Stand Review:"Poignant, wise, and wildly weird....Utterly engaging characters, and a serious sense of fun." Entertainment Weekly Review:"A quirky piece of intelligent pop that is also surprisingly moving." The New Yorker Synopsis:From the moment a three-legged dog limps into the life of Police Chief Frannie McCabe and drops dead at his feet, McCabe finds himself in a new world of disturbing miracles. His small town of Crane's View, New York, has long been a haven of harmony and comfort--but now he finds himself afflicted by the inexplicable, by omens that converge to throw his life into doubt. And what he does over the next few days may have consequences for the whole world. About the AuthorJonathan Carroll has written 13 novels, a short story collection, and a number of film scripts.
