Drinking the Wind

The novel "Drinking the Wind" combines elements of different genres. It is simultaneously a family drama, a western, and noir. Like in an avant-garde film, characters flash before us: the despotic father and the fanatically religious mother; the tyrant and... paranoid city leader Joyce; his henchmen – the dwarf Snake and the giant Double, as well as whalers, World War I veterans, pirates, poachers, and girls of rather unacceptable behavior.
But above all, it is a parable about all-conquering love, connecting three brothers and a sister: the rebellious and sensual Mabel, the literature-obsessed Mark, the one who understands the language of trees and animals, Mathieu, and the youngest Luke, who imagines himself as Jim Hawkins from Stevenson’s "Treasure Island".
