Marabou Stork Nightmares: A Novel

In a hospital room in Edinburgh, Roy Strang lies in a coma--which doesn't save him from reliving the sordid developments that brought him to the state. He seems at times to be engaged in a strange quest in a surrealistic Africa to eradicate the evil predator-scavenger bird--the marabou stork--before it drives away the peace-loving flamingos from Lake Torto.
