The Book of Forks

In The Book of Forks, Castro Smith navigates a surreal prison while Vera and Scarper search for their missing friend, exploring identity and existence.

In The Book of Forks, Rob Davis brings readers into the enigmatic world of Castro Smith, who finds himself confined within the mysterious Power Station. As he writes his Book of Forks, he faces perplexing daily meetings with Poly, a young woman whose role in his life is unclear. Is she his teacher, doctor, prison guard, or something else entirely? This ambiguity adds depth to the narrative, inviting readers to ponder the nature of relationships and identity.

Meanwhile, two other characters, Vera and Scarper, embark on a quest to locate their missing friend. Their journey takes them through the chaotic warzone of Bear Park, leading them into new and frightening realms. The stark contrast between Castro's internal struggles and Vera and Scarper's external adventure highlights the multifaceted nature of searching for truth, both within oneself and in the world.

As the final installment in his abstract adventure trilogy, The Book of Forks delves into the disintegration of Castro's mind, ultimately revealing profound insights about the history of the world, the essence of existence, and even the purpose of kitchen scales. This thought-provoking narrative ties together the themes explored in the previous books, providing clarity and resolution for readers who have journeyed with Davis through this surreal landscape.
