Overview
Andy Brown’s first novel follows a sibling relationship told through vignettes, each story centered around the removal of a mole. From this premise, Brown’s novel expands the associations of moles from skin disease, to the burrowing animal, to secret societies and espionage, to tell the story of familial dysfunction, culture-jamming, eco-terrorism, and regret in the lives of young adults in the 1990s. The Mole Chronicles is an engaging and innovative debut novel.
Andy Brown is the author of the short story collection I can see you being invisible (DC Books, 2003) and founder of the acclaimed small publishing house Conundrum Press. He lives in Montreal.
