Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters

“Their offense? Each member in deliberate provocation of the High Island Council had marched single file into last Tuesday’s open session wearing cartoon masks and making loud duck sounds – sounds which any sentient Nollopian knows by now are forbidden – while holding aloft large cardboard containers of a certain recently outlawed brand of American oatmeal.”
– Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn

I’m going to leave it up to Bybee to decide what has just been made illegal on the island of Nollop.

Tuesday Teasers are hosted by Should Be Reading.

I haven’t read it, but I’ve heard a lot about that book. Hope you enjoy it!

I read this book awhile ago. I liked it but I didn’t enjoy the style. Happy reading! Thanks for visiting today.

Haha. That conjured up an interesting visual image!
I like the sort of “minimalist” feel of the cover.
