About this listen
Horatio Peabody is a contemporary novella set in the fictional, seaside village of Caring Cove, Oregon. This fable tells the story of a lonely, nondescript hardware store clerk, who, as the last in a long line of Peabodys, is tasked with keeping the century-old, family business afloat.
Horatio’s priorities change in a dramatic way when a strange child enters his life, and his intercourse with the humble, surrounding town takes on multiple layers of complexity.
As in his first two novels, Donuts Are Meant to Be Eaten and Only the Trying, the author explores modern day themes, with an emphasis on the disruption found at the intersection of rapid technological change and the natural world.
Throughout the tale the listener is offered both iconic symbols and references to popular culture, which provide a layered tapestry experience. The book is intended for those who want to enjoy a contemplative listen, as well as for those who just enjoy a good story.
