A STORY ABOUT SAN FRANCISCO
“From debut author Rodes Fishburne, this captivating novel introduces one of the most engaging literary characters in recent years: Slater Brown, whose dream to be the greatest writer in the world leads him to discover the spirit of a city—and himself.
Standing in a bicycle taxi, speeding the wrong way down the busiest street in San Francisco, twenty-five-year old Slater Brown is ready to stake his claim as the greatest writer in the world. In the history of the world.
If only the perfect story would appear.
With the help of a mysterious gift from a man with all the answers and a third rate newspaper on the cusp of collapse, Slater’s life changes. As his columns in the lowly Morning Trumpet bring the newspaper back from the brink, his rising star causes him to cross paths with the city’s other notorious residents—from the corrupt and gluttonous mayor to an eccentric scientist intent on controlling the weather. Most importantly, Slater meets the beautiful Callio deQuincy, a brilliant chess champion who quickly captures his heart.
Merging the fantastical with the fantastically romantic, Going to See the Elephant is a novel about writing, falling in love, and about learning who you are despite the storms—both literal and figurative—that may rage around you.”
