Julius McEarly, in a surreal landscape of his own metaphoric inner thoughts and haphazard projections of reality, is a man on the run from a previous life. He sees himself as a Fish... but not just any Fish... A Capital Letter Fish... a Noun Fish... moonlit of the Scales and slick and agile of the Fin. In his search for Anarchy, Freedom and Love, with perhaps along the way just a little Immortality, his dearest wish is to become ordinary and rejoin The Shoal. Struggling to survive in a world where 'Normality' is under a process of constant revision, he finds his future placed in the hands of an eleven-year-old Tinker girl... whose hair is a bright conflagration upon her head, whose lies wisp her teeth like chicken feathers, and whose eyes are blacker than he ever saw on a Kipper. Enter The Fox...
