Kicked out of college and harassed by his lawyer, Miles Faber abandons New York
and embarks on a defiant pilgrimage across the Caribbean to find the shrine of S
ib Legeru, an obscure poet and painter. But in the streets of Castita's capital,
where a wild religious festival is in full swing, a series of bizarre encounter
s - including his own repulsive doppelganger (the son of a circus bird-woman) -
and disturbing family revelations await Miles, who soon finds himself a willing
victim of dynastic destiny. A darkly surreal comedy of dazzling linguistic inven
tiveness, MF is an outrageous tale of blood, lust and the machinations of fate.
