In his final days, he realizes that his life's work of scientific classification has led him astray from the hidden secrets of the natural world. As his body slows and his mind expands, he recalls his family's escape from budding fascism in Germany, his father's need to prune and control, and his tender moments with first loves. But as his disintegration into moss begins, his fascination with botany culminates in a profound understanding of life's meaning and his own mortality. Visionary and poetic, Moss explores our fundamental human desires for both transcendence and connection and serves as a testament to our tenuous and intimate relationship with nature"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a 'Moss was originally published in German in 1984 as Moos by Haffmans Verlag." -- title page verso. 546 $a Translated from the German. 650 0 $a Botanists $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Botanists $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836862 655 7 $a Fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Modick, Klaus, $t Moss $d New York : Bellevue Literary Press, 2020. $z 9781942658733 $w (DLC) 2019031920 700 1 $a Herman, David, $d 1962- $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317030045.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210302015639.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0E24164C71B711EB8A4F4B2E3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
