Turkana Boy relates Monsieur Bartolome's sorrow following his young son's mysterious disappearance. The title refers to the fossilized remains of a boy found near Lake Turkana, Kenya. Bartolome sees in the lives of the boys--separated by nearly two million years--a kind of twin destiny. This surrealist narrative is punctuated with magnificent musings on the world and startling questions about what it means to be alive. France-Quebec Prize-winner Jean-Francois Beauchemin is acclaimed for his meditative, poetic literary style and his attentiveness to the intimate cohabitation of body and soul. Jessica Moore won the 2008 PEN Translation Award.
