Synopsis

Our narrator’s name and origins are unknown. Oliver, who has served as both her caregiver and her captor, told her she came to him from another star. Though she arrived a grown woman, she did not yet have the ability to speak or count. Oliver had to teach her how to properly chew her food and clean herself. Though isolated from our world, he did his best to care for his charge and, she insists, always felt the need to develop her into more than she was.

Now, she blends into our society, though she is still different at heart. The problem is, she can’t find Oliver. She goes back to their beginning to examine their relationship with him, a strange mix of father, lover, abuser, teacher. And then there is the question of Edith, a mysterious woman who has been writing to Oliver, and whose presence seems to haunt them both.

Originally published in 1977 and woven from fragments of nightmare and fantasy alike, Find Him! is a paragon of Elaine Kraf’s iconoclastic style that challenges and captivates in equal measure.
