Description:
Botanist Alfred Homer, ever hopeful and constantly surprised, is invited on a road trip
by his parents' friend, Professor Morgan Bruno, who wants company as he tries to
unearth the story of the mysterious poet John Skennen. But this is no ordinary road
trip. Alfred and the Professor encounter towns where Black residents speak only in
sign language and towns that hold Indigenous Parades: it is a land of house burnings,
werewolves, and witches.
Complete with Alfred's drawings of plants both real and implausible, Days by
Moonlight is a Dantesque journey taken during the 'hour of the wolf,' that time of day
when the sun is setting and the traveller can't tell the difference between dog and
wolf. And it asks that perpetual question: how do we know the things we know are
real, and what is real anyway?
