Girl in Landscape offers a genre-bending, mind-expanding tale of a new frontier. Jonathan Lethem''s novel is a science-fiction Western that evokes both the brooding tragedy of John Ford''s The Searchers and the sexual precocity of Nabokov''s Lolita.
Lethem''s heroine is 14-year-old Pella Marsh, whose mother dies just as her family flees a post-apocalyptic Brooklyn for the frontier of a recently discovered planetHating her ineffectual father, and troubled by a powerful attraction to the virile but dangerous loner who holds sway over the little colony, Pella embarks on a course of discovery that will have tragic and irrevocable consequences - both for the humans in her community, and also for the mysterious and passive indigenous inhabitants, The Archbuilders.
