A Feather for Pumpkin: Tales of a vegetarian vulture by Carlos Taveira (English)

Description: A Feather for Pumpkin by Carlos Taveira, Harry Tinders Change is difficult for the best of us and evolution is not easy on those left behind. Adapt or die, the saying goes. But what if adapting can cost you your life? What if the pressure to stay as you are is unbearable? What if your contemporaries fight to keep evolution at bay? An unlikely hero and his medley of eccentric friends tell their story of fighting to survive in a changing world. This is the true story of events that are normally hidden from human gaze. Told by those that we do not normally see. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Carlos was born in Angola in the small town of Lobito. Washed by gentle waves, warmed by South Atlantic sea winds and nourished by books of every type; the scene was only marred by the grating cries of seagulls, who are very ugly birds. Moving to Montreal in the winter of 1985, he swapped swimsuit for skates and the tropics quickly became a distant memory. Carlos wrote his first book in Ottawa, in Portuguese, published in Lisbon, the first of a series of four historical fictions in French. This was followed by a most excellent book of poetry, which was scandalously overlooked by critics. Carlos has still not forgiven this oversight. Harry was born in a cave in deepest Hertfordshire and raised by wild animals. Starved of human contact as a child, he overcompensated by reading voraciously and it soon became clear that he was deeply intelligent but neurotic and unstable. To take revenge on the critics, and the universe in general, Carlos and Harry formed an unholy alliance with the vulture community, who shared the legend of Princess, Boy, Buster and Mistress. "A Feather for Pumpkin" is the result. Both Carlos and Harry work in separate but equally bewildering full time professions and are desperate to become famous authors. Carlos, so he can return to the tropics and buy a palace and Harry, so he can afford a cave with a view. Rather confusingly, Carlos lives with the aunt of Harrys girlfriend. They are unsure if they are actually related and cannot remember how they met.
