Description
The Motherless Oven and The Can Opener’s Daughter may have raised more questions than they answered. But The Book of Forks explains everything.
Castro Smith finds himself imprisoned within the mysterious Power Station, writing his Book of Forks while navigating baffling daily meetings with Poly, a troubled young woman who may be his teacher, his doctor, his prison guard… or something else entirely. Meanwhile, back home, Vera and Scarper’s search for their missing friend takes them through the chaotic warzone of the Bear Park and into new and terrifying worlds.
With The Book of Forks, Rob Davis completes his abstract adventure trilogy by stepping inside Castro’s disintegrating mind, to reveal the truth about the history of the world, the meaning of existence and the purpose of kitchen scales.
A darkly compelling, fiercely original coming-of-age tale set in a bizarre, distorted teenage landscape
Rob Davis won the British Comic Award and an Eisner Award nomination for The Motherless Oven, the opening volume of the trilogy
The gripping final instalment of a trilogy that has been praised by The Independent, The Guardian and many other publications
