Salmon - 9781737924241

A young poet travels to a mysterious country named SALMON to escape "the dailiness of life" but his plan is thwarted by derelict trains, ambivalent pirates, and a deity-like mushroom that seems to disappear the world one object at a time. Sebastian Castillo's madcap, surreal novella, SALMON is a modern picaresque for the back pocket. Praise for Sebastian Castillo "Broken-down time machine-esque. Feels like it was written any time in the past or future 100 years." - Mark Leidner "Sebastian Castillo's writing is surprising, charming and formally innovative." - Chelsea Hodson "Peculiar... ambitious... a compelling voice" - Ottessa Moshfegh "He makes literature seem a sustainable and attainable practice, as marvelous as basic grammar or tap water." - Wayne Koestenbaum "Sebastian Castillo invokes a logical illogic wherein nothing is untrue or impossible, secrets have secrets, and any sentence can change the world." -Blake Butler
