About this listen

Avram Davidson's six Jack Limekiller stories create a rich and colorful world where the magical and inexplicable coexist with the outboard motor and the escalation of the American war in Vietnam.

British Hidalgo is "a place that you can put your arms around" - welcoming and friendly to the visitor, but uncanny beings dwell in the bush and roam along its coast. Afloat and ashore, Jack Limekiller, master of the working sailboat Saccharissa, encounters ghosts of the colonial past and monsters far older.

Read wonderfully by Marc LeVasseur, and what a gorgeous listen it was, as Davidson's relaxed expatriate living in his yacht in relaxed British Hidalgo has assorted uncanny encounters and unsettling adventures. Davidson's unique style takes long circumlocutions seemingly besdies the point, if there is a point, until suddenly they're all part of the point. One must imagine Tristram Shandy with a knowing glint in his eye. Immensely enjoyable, occasionally laugh out loud funny, occasionally deeply chilling, always lovable and eccentric.
