I Cheerfully Refuse
$26.10 online at Bookshop.org
In a not-too-distant America, bereaved musician Rainy sails a sentient Lake Superior in search of his departed bookselling wife. He takes refuge in harbors, fogs, and remote islands, facing lunatic storms and rising corpses from warming depths. On land he finds desperate, increasingly illiterate people, a malignant billionaire ruling class, crumbled infrastructure, and lawlessness. Amid Gulliver-like challenges at sea and no safe landings, he is lifted by beauty, humor, generous strangers, and an unexpected young companion who comes aboard. As his guileless nature makes an inadvertent rebel of him, his private quest for the woman he loves grows wider and wilder, sweeping up friends and foes alike.
