Chuckanut Radio Hour Featuring Stevan Allred, author of Alehouse at the End of the World!
When a fisherman receives a mysterious letter about his beloveds demise, he sets off in his skiff to find her. A whale swallows him, then deposits him on the Isle of the Dead, which is ruled by a trio of giant bird gods. The fisherman must negotiate with the self-proclaimed leadera narcissistic, bullying crowto return his beloved to physical form. In The Alehouse at the End of the World, an epic comedy set in the sixteenth century, bawdy Shakespearian love triangles play out with shape-shifting avian demigods and a fertility goddess, drunken revelry, and bio-dynamic gardening. A raucous, aw-aw-aw-awe-inspiring romp, Stevan Allreds second book is a juicy fable for adults and a hopeful tale for our troubled times.
Stevan Allred, author of The Alehouse at the End of the World, lives in Portland, Oregon, halfway between Hav and the Isle of the Dead, which is to say he spends as much time burrowed into his imagination as he possibly can.
