Rainbear!!!!!!!!! - Never Angeline North

n nRainbear!!!!!!!!! is writing at its wildest, maddest, furthest, goofiest, most blatant, most shameless, most free. n n-Daniel Handler, author of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Eventsn n nn nNorth's gonzo eclecticism only partially camouflages her penetrating insight and masterful command of language.

With Rainbear!!!!!!!!! she has created something part fairytale, part Old Testament parable, and entirely unique, a heartbreaking creative vision of regression.n n-Gretchen Felker-Martin, author of Manhuntn n nn nI can't tell you what happens in Rainbear!!!!!!!!!, and if someone tries to, good luck to them. Frank Stanford once said It wasn't a dream, it was a flood, and I have spent most of my life believing I knew what that meant, but it turns out I didn't.

This is what that means. This isn't a dream. This is a flood.

And we should all be so lucky as to drown in Never's waters.n n-Sasha Fletcher, author of Be Here to Love Me at the End of the Worldn
