Carl OlsonÕs debut introduces an unforgettable pair of unlikely friends: Elmer Blott and Gordon Clay.
Elmer is an eccentric hermit living in a rusted trailer on the outskirts of Emerson, Minnesota, while Gordon Clay is the townÕs mayor qua king. Nonetheless, nearly every success and achievement in GordonÕs life comes because of his closeness
with Elmer and his clairvoyant giftÑÔdeep sightÕ.
When Elmer re-enters the world out of his lifelong isolation, the careful balance of this friendshipÑand the community of EmersonÑis thrown completely off-kilter.
Prepare for laughter as Elmer slowly untangles how his strange childhood, GordonÕs ambition, and his new lease on life might all live in heavenly harmony.
Elmer and Gordon, and the people of Emerson, just might never be the same.
