Pilgermann by Hoban, Russell and a great selection of related books, art and collectibles available now at www.doorway.ru "Pilgermann" is an extraordinary and fascinating book. Russell Hoban, the author, is not as well known as he should be in his native America, because he has lived in England for many years. But all his books are very well worth reading!. Russell Hoban has better known books (like "Riddley Walker") but this is the best one I have read. His prose is poetic, and patterned throughout the novel. The story is told by the titular Pilgermann, a soul or ghost or collection of memories flitting about through time.
