Creation [MultiFormat]
by Jeffrey Ford
|
|
 "Creation" is a coming-of-age fable of a boy on a quest for knowledge. Influenced by his catechism teacher, the stern Mrs. Grimm, the boy finds enchantment in the creation story of Adam and Eve. He decides to try and "confer life" to a handmade "man" in the woods--there are no magic formulae, no incantations, no necronomicons involved--just a body made of sticks and bark, eyes of red mushrooms, hair of moss, and a few special things dropped into the interior. (Published: 2002) Hugo Award Nominee
