Silverlock
John Myers Myers · 2 novels · 1949–1981
John Myers Myers' Silverlock follows A. Clarence Shandon, an emotionally numbed businessman shipwrecked and washed ashore in the Commonwealth of Letters, a fantastical realm populated entirely by characters out of history, myth, and literature. Guided by the enigmatic Golias, who nicknames him Silverlock, Shandon stumbles picaresquely from one literary encounter to the next - meeting figures like Beowulf, Robin Hood, Don Quixote, and Hamlet - and is transformed by the journey. A belated sequel, The Moon's Fire-Eating Daughter, followed in 1981.
