description: A Johnson has his Boswell and every Sticks Angelica has her Michael DeForgeSticks Angelica is in her own words 49 years old. Former: Olympian poet scholar sculptor minister activist Governor General entrepreneur line cook headmistress Mountie columnist libertarian cellist. After a high-profile family scandal Sticks escapes to the woods to live in what would be relative isolation were it not for the many animals that surround and inevitably annoy her. Sticks is an arrogant self-obsessed force who wills herself on the flora and fauna. There is a rabbit named Oatmeal who harbors an unrequited love for her a pair of kissing geese a cross-dressing moose absurdly named Lisa Hanawalt. When a reporter named ahem Michael DeForge shows up to interview Sticks for his biography on her she quickly slugs him and buries him up to his neck immobilizing him. Instead Sticks narrates her way through the forest recalling formative incidents from her storied past in what becomes a strange sort of autobiography.
