This fantastic epic is a groundbreaking way to depict mankind's battle to find meaning in existence. Gork, the protagonist, is like any rational creature of sound reason, with one key difference- he knows his limitations, and readily admits that he feels empty within.  The contrast between Gork and the elusive creatures that guide him on his quest goes beyond mere storytelling to explore individualism, realism, and idealism.  "Search your heart for that which is not there. Search your soul for that which is missing.  Search your dreams for that which you seek.  Let the Sands of Time sweep you to your dream," these creatures advise.  The dreamlike quality of this book makes it a beautiful, strange, and beguiling page-turner.
