george_salis's review
"Qasbur suggested spreading out the large map on the floor, then placing a chameleon on their town and seeing which way it took: toward the mountains, the valley, the desert, up or down the coast. Then they could go there too. He called this method of divination 'chameleomancy.'"
A soft-spoken meditation on caring for creatures that are smaller than us yet no less special and deserving of attention, care, and love. The chameleons are the stars of this show but the reader is also given the sandy muezzin atmosphere of living in Morocco, written in La Farge's sparse and quiet yet accomplished prose style.
I had asked Wendy Walker, Tom's wife and a wonderful writer in her own right, about this unpublished work, and she sent it to me as a Word document.
