Lost in Choupic: An Exercise in Nonsense (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781495228889)

Lost in Choupic A modern Cajun folklore tale of triumph and friendship. This is a story of Louisiana in a Cajun community that almost was or is depending on your point of view. The kind of story that becomes aware as you read, for it is your breath that the pages seek as they linger along the fringe, around the edge of the lens where all things of questionable origin wait to seep through. Somewhere, near the back porch a window sits ajar. Somewhere... Someone is watching. Someone strange and frightening. Someone painted by the dust of ages waits for the cover of night. The full moon rises upon the eve of a young man's twenty-first birthday. What's a Cajun boy, his best friend, a big Labrador retriever, and a kangaroo mouse to do? Party and meet up with their girlfriends on Bourbon Street. Yea, that was the plan. But a vibrant world where folklore elements spawn has come alive. Their lives are about to change, and a vast Cajun heritage may be the only thing that saves them. As the moon rises so does the window. Do miracles exist? I have seen many things while working in an ICU setting. Many things can be explained by having the right doctor or medication, by catching something in the nick of time, or by it being a rare but explainable event, but there are some events that defy all reason, all explanation. The underlying theme of this novel is triumph, and how we all have something to contribute: No matter who you are--even if you happen to be a mouse
