Jog Rummage

"In a tradition of English fantasy and burbly nonsense that includes Lewis Carroll, J.R. Tolkien, James Joyce and John Lennon, Wright's first novel sandwiches a poignant little-match-girl story (of a crippled child who goes down a rabbit-sort-of-hole through Misery Door past the talking elevators to Forgotten Room where she discovers her beloved father's tragic secret) between the halves of an allegory of the rivalry among the neighboring nations of Rats and Jobs."--Kirkus Review
