Grimus by Salman Rushdie
But after 777 years of sailing the worlds seas, he becomes weary of life, and sets out to find the mystical Calf Island, a place where his fellow immortals have gathered and created their own version of the human race. But Calf Island is a strange place like its inhabitants, it is both blessed and cursed.
"Thunderous and touching" Financial Times "Engrossing and wonderful" Los Angeles Times "Ambitious, strikingly confident" Times Literary Supplement "Stimulating, funny, a thoroughly good read" Harpers & Queen "A mixture of science fiction and folktale, past and future, primitive and present day.. Grimus is a parallel form of life, and conjuring of an alternative society" Financial Times
