“Funny, surprising, unsettling; an easy read that shocks you with its profundity. A truly enjoyable read that amuses and keeps you on your toes. A mountain appears overnight and impacts the lives of all its neighbours. Ocho worries about his wife's fidelity, the town drunk throws bricks through people's windows and two children navigate their family's eccentricities. It all comes together in a nail biting ending.”
Ghost Mountain
Review by Patrick Neale

Shimmering and haunting in equal measure, this profound fable from the author of ‘Leonard and Hungry Paul’ and ‘Panenka’ centres on a mysterious mountain which appears at crucial moments in the protagonists’ lives. ‘Ghost Mountain’ is a simple fable-like novel about a mountain that appears suddenly and the way in which its manifestation ripples through the lives of characters in the surrounding community.

Description

Ghost Mountain is a fable-like novel about a mountain that appears suddenly, and the way in which its manifestation ripples through the lives of characters in the surrounding community. It looks at the uncertain fragile sense of self we hold inside ourselves, and our human compulsion to project it into the uncertain word around us, whether we’re ready or not. It is also about the presence of absence, and how it shadows us in our lives. Mountains are at once unmistakably present yet never truly fathomable.
