(3) YA Paris accompanies her sinister uncle on a cross-continental "hunting" trip. She meets Tahr, an orphaned monk, and Geng-sun, a captive Neanderthal (possibly the last living member of the scattered, hidden Neanderthal communities). In this intelligent, haunting adventure, Gross brings alive a nonspecific Asian landscape wracked by Western incursion. The fictional world is dissonantly modern, powerfully tragic, and above all thoroughly imagined.
