Turkana Boy

Turkana Boy relates Monsieur Bartoloméâe(tm)s sorrow following his young sonâe(tm)s mysterious disappearance. The title refers to the fossilized remains of a boy found near Lake Turkana, Kenya.

This surrealist narrative is punctuated with magnificent musings on the world and startling questions about what it means to be alive.
