Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Robert Stikmanz returns to narrative fiction with The Seven Jewel Bird. A novella set in a post-petroleum corner of the Stikmanz universe, the heirs of our fall scavenge depopulated suburbs for whatever can be sold, used or repurposed.Most of the salvage passes through a sprawling market sheltered under a ruined freeway. A market that exists, in no small part, because one old man understands technology of the past better than anyone else. Technology of his distant youth.Inventor, handyman and artist, Maker is known as a wonder-worker. It's a reputation he's not sure he deserves - or wants. By his lights, he simply tackles the problems that come his way. Then inspiration pushes him to build a mechanical bird that sings with endless variety.Born at the limit of skill, crafted from scraps, fragments and a shattered clock, the creation changes its creator as he shapes it.

A small book beautifully written, it features a distinctive cover illustration by the author.…

Its parts resonate with each other to evoke worldviews, lifestyles and the social dynamics of an imaginary people. The text combines fiction, brain teaser, role playing, conceptual art, and language creation into a unique, participatory work. At once a toy and toolkit, Dvarsh, An Introduction unfolds differently for each seeker who enters. Conlangers, gamemasters and co-creators of every stripe, heads up.…
