In a small town in the mountains, a young boy is given a suitcase filled with battered old books. So begins a lifelong pursuit of the elusive creature known as the logogryph. Describing imaginary books and alternate realities, Wharton explores the mysterious alchemy called reading, and along the way summons a cast of characters that includes duelling margin scribblers, a dislodged protagonist, and an unforgettable family that becomes one man's mythology.

Thomas Wharton is an author and creative writing instructor at the University of Alberta. He has published two previous award-winning novels, Icefields (1995), and Salamander (2001). Thomas lives in Edmonton with his wife and three children. He is currently at work on a new novel.
