Pew Av Catherine Lacey

'I consumed it. It is the electric charge we need' Daisy Johnson, author of Everything UnderOne Sunday morning, a mysterious silent figure is found sleeping in a church in an unnamed American town. The congregants call this amnesiac 'Pew' and seek to uncover who they are: their age; their gender, their race, their intentions.Are they an orphan, or something worse? What terrible trouble is Pew running from? And why won't they speak?Unable to agree on how to treat a person they cannot categorize - whether to adopt or imprison, help or harm them - this small town is quickly undone by Pew's terrifying silence. What remains is a foreboding, provocative, and amorphous fable about the world today: our borders and our boundaries, our fears and our woes.
