Discover the imaginary biography of the world’s last dodo, an inexplicably brilliant bird who escapes the extermination of his species, learns several languages during his adventures, and makes his way to England in the year 1706. After struggling as a hack writer, “the great Fowle” finally breaks into the ranks of London Wits, becomes a celebrity, and even launches a touching romance with a smart and winsome young woman. His loyal friend and biographer urges him to write an epic poem to immortalize his defunct tribe, with results that are both triumphant and disastrous.
Written entirely in the style of the period, The Life of Jeremy Dodo combines humor, adventures, romance, lively conversations, and a stirring conclusion that will leave you wondering. It plunges you into the world of early 18th-century London, and its unlikely hero emerges as an eloquent tragicomic figure in the tradition of Don Quixote and Cyrano de Bergerac. In fact, Jeremy Dodo could represent all those intelligent outsiders (are you one of them?) who struggle to gain recognition against the odds.
