    Summary

    This, I intended as the novel that Lestat writes some ten years after Blood Canticle. Subject to revision, probably.

    It is set in Mobile, Alabama, in 2010 against the backdrop of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Lestat & Louis attempt an "adult" relationship by having couples therapy & Lestat attempts being a Serious Writer of Serious Novels, to some effect (he also plays in a covers band). But really it is about power, of multiple kinds. For example, to paraphrase Kurt Vonnegut Jnr., capitalism is present in this story about insecure, wealthy, white men in much the same manner that honey might be present in a story about bees.

    To wit, with regard to that: “it is always from the depths of its impotence that each power center draws its power, hence their extreme maliciousness, and vanity.” (Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in Capitalism and Schizophrenia: A Thousand Plateaus). And that is what happens in this story, in between all the expansive long-take nothing, constant hipsterism and the periodic sexing and angsting.

    Summary

    A year has passed since "the llama incident", and Emperor Kuzco has been working hard at righting his past wrongs. All is going well, except for one thing: He has yet to choose a bride, and with only a year left to do so, time is running out.

    When summer rolls in, Kuzco takes his leave from the city to relax in Pacha's village. But, he is unable to escape his problems, especially the one that comes to him in the form of a sickly girl who was found in the jungle. She is tall, pale, and thin. Her hair is the colour of blood, her eyes of emerald, and her clothes are unrecognizable. She speaks in a sharp, rolling language that no one can understand. In turn, she cannot understand a word that is spoken to her. The children think she's a monster. The adults think she's a long way from home.

    And Kuzco thinks she's the bane of his existence.
