In a fantastic world that is and is not 17th-century England, a baby is
found floating in the Thames. The child, Jordan, is rescued by Dog Woman
and grows up to travel the world like Gulliver, though he finds that the
world's most curious oddities come from his own mind. Winterson leads
the listener from discussions on the nature of time to Jordan's
fascination with journeys concealed within other journeys, all with a
dizzying speed that shoots the listener from epiphany to shimmering
epiphany.
