Book Description
This novel tells the story of Julie Bird and her father Marty, a veteran who suffers from Gulf War Syndrome. Wildlife in their small town begins committing suicide, a phenomenon that coincides with the arrival of Jennie Lee Lewis, a Jerry Lee Lewis impersonator. As the town's residents, including Marty, succumb to a spate of self-destructive behaviour, Julie works to uncover Jennie Lee Lewis's identity. Through a magic realist lens, the novel seeks to contrast the romanticized self-destruction depicted in popular media with that experienced by ordinary people. An examination of environmental economics and animal models of suicide contribute to broader themes of self-destruction in our world.

Book Description
A startling, moving magic realist debut Almost immediately upon Julie Bird’s return to the small port town where she was raised, everyday life is turned upside down. Julie’s Gulf War vet father, Marty, has been on the losing side of a battle with PTSD for too long. A day of boating takes a dramatic turn when a majestic blue whale beaches itself and dies. A blond stranger sets up camp oceanside: she’s an agitator, musician-impersonator, and armchair philosopher named Jennie Lee Lewis — and Julie discovers she’s connected to her father’s mysterious trip to New Mexico 25 years earlier. As the blue whale decays on the beach, more wildlife turns up dead — apparently by suicide — echoing Marty’s deepest desire. But Julie isn’t ready for a world without her father. A stunning exploration of love and grief, Land Mammals and Sea Creatures is magic realism on the seaside, a novel about living life to the fullest and coming to your own terms with its end.
