His third novel. Started out in part as a "project" to prove to himself that he could be a full-time writer after the success of his first book, The Restraint of Beasts, brought him into the media limelight. A whimsical Beckettian fable, the story of a recluse living in a tin shack whose quiet life is transformed by the sudden arrival of a woman with a trunk of her belongings in tow.

"[A] surreal, screwy new novel. Mills, like Ionesco in Rhinoceros, is exploring the wholly human proclivity to trade away a portion of one's lonesome independence in exchange for company, whether of spouse or congregation." –San Francisco Chronicle
