"It is an original story with heart, humor, and an uplifting message. The NoneSuch Man is crisp writing with heart and imagination. In a world of derivative, high-concept books, Steve Elkins has chosen to write a novel with original, off-beat characte"

quote
“Andy joined the line, stared at the ground and tried to disappear. He hated lines, but waiting wasn't the problem. Andy was ashamed of his height. He always stood out in a crowd. Out and up. Way up. At seven feet six and one-half inches, it was impossible for Andy to lay low, which had always been his inclination.”

“It was only his imagination, but he was convinced he could see his beard growing back, the whiskers slowly emerging from his pores, twisting up towards the light, like in some speeded up, time-lapse sequence in a boring, sixteen millimeter educational film of grass growing or flowers blooming.”

“You are bound to your mother and your father. And they right back to you. And those ties are the strongest and most powerful in the world. Invisible as they may be.”

“She carried him down into a lush cavern. It was a sprawling acre and a half, the floor a beautiful rolling meadow of wildflowers split by a zigzag freshwater stream which was fed by five cascade waterfalls streaming down in roaring torrents from towering one hundred fifty foot sheer walls. There were mineral-rich hot springs and abundant vegetation. Giant ferns, mushrooms, heather, blueberry, alpine strawberry, huckleberry. All thriving in the warm, wet air generated by the nearly constant emission of steam hissing out of geothermal vents. Eerie lava rock formations sprouted up throughout the grotto floor. Curving, organic shapes forming alcoves and niches and cozy recesses offering solitude to whomever, or whatever, required it.”

“He thought he was dreaming them. Sounds faint, but distinct, echoing through the ventilation shafts and resonating through the plumbing and the sinks and the bathtubs and the toilets. The screams, the crazed, cackling laughter, the anguished moaning and the inconsolable weeping. And now Dennis was finally going to get a first-hand look, and see the Woodhaven basement for himself. And he would soon realize he did not dream them. Those terrible sounds were real. And the rumors were true.”

“It was the purest love any being ever felt for another. A love unspoiled by higher intellect, human frailty, foolishness and foible, limerence or lust or neurotic obsession. She never forgot her boy, never stopped longing for him. Her heart forever broken after she abandoned him while he slept.”

“Blessing in disguise he didn't believe me, Andy. Truth gets out, they hunt you down. Set a trap. Bait it with a thick, juicy ribeye. Medium rare. Big baked potato on the side. Maybe a salad. You know - for roughage? Keeps you regular. They capture you. Open you up and study your organs. While you're still alive. Vivisection. Nasty business. When they're done they stop your heart and put your brain in a jar. Drain off your blood. Sell samples for scientific study. Skin you and tan your hide. They boil the meat off your skeleton. Stuff you full of sawdust. Pop marbles in your sockets. Pose you inside a diorama like some magnificent beast behind glass in a museum. They do that to all the great apes. But not to you. I'll never let them do it. No way in hell. Not to my boy. Nope. Not to my child.”

“In 1967, at the age of nine, Andy Lennox was six feet five and one-half inches tall. Three years earlier, as a six-year old, he had already gone through puberty. Faye was frightened by his transformation. She stopped giving him baths, instructing him to instead perform the task himself after his scrotum became enlarged. He was saddened when they no longer shared bonding time together. And didn't understand when she told him the changes in his body were happening because he was becoming a man.”

“If by some miracle Buster Freitag could live a long enough life, say two hundred years, there might be time enough for him to lose all his appendages and extremities. Seven more fingers, nine more toes, hands, feet, arms, legs, his genitals, his nose and, of course, the one ear still attached. Reduced down to only head and torso, he might find gainful employment in some circus sideshow, billed as the Human Bratwurst. At least until the final coup de grace, when he would be decapitated in a jealous rage incident, courtesy of a machete wielded by his jilted lover, The Bearded Lady.”
