An apocalyptic weather event has flooded the entire planet. In an unlikely series of events, Oswald, a curmudgeonly book collector who dislikes people and hates the outdoors, is set adrift on an endless sea of floating garbage in his childhood home.
Unexpected relationships and strange encounters along his sixteen-year journey of survival cause Oswald to question the very nature of reality. And when a bizarre creature confronts him with his own demons, it leads him down a dark path where his ultimate fate hangs in the balance.
The Brave New World of Oswald P. Lesser is a love story, a fantasy, an allegory of trauma and survival. In the words of one reader, it is "the story of all of us".
