Annotation | The novel presents a satire on the present in the form of a weird, fantastic, imaginary country. It begins on a dystopian ship crewed by murderers and psychopaths where the passengers are required to do all the work and are robbed and murdered. Then the ship sinks, and the protagonist makes it to the island of the Enu, who seem to be half human and half baboon in apparently separate species and have a odd affinity for birds that occupy nests on men's heads. |
