| Publisher Description: This engaging book is both a novella that is an adventure story set in the Himalayas and an allegory of finding the (Masonic) Word. It is also an exploration of the significance of mountains. The modern myth of American Big Foot is a bipedal ape-like species that predominantly haunts the Pacific Northwest. However, this so called modern myth is actually far more ancient than many believe it to be. The Native Americans have as many names for it as there are tribes. It is a myth that strangely connects to another, thousands of miles away, that is equally as old as it is modern--the Yeti at the roof of the world, the abominable snowman of the Himalayas. The Yeti Society is about the believers and the witnesses, but it is also about the non-believers and the skeptics. |
Contributor Bio(s): Sexton, Martin: - Martin Sexton is a writer and artist who has exhibited widely including a solo exhibition at the 2015 Venice Biennale at the Gervasuti Foundation as well as Tate Britain, The Wolfsonian, The Poetry Library, Benaki Museum Athens, and the Hydra Museum. In 2015 he was awarded the Tithe Grant by The Blake Society, judged by Sir Alan Parker. He is an artist renowned for his investigations into the esoteric and the outer limits of consciousness. His practice can defy clear description; yet he refers to all of his work in whatever medium as writing and his practice has been referred to by critics as "physical literature." |
