Noons story is interwoven with entries from the diary of Claude Littlejohn, the houses previous owner, along with the mysterious backstory of Noons misadventures in a Latin American country, which led to his self-imposed exile from the world.eaders of Thoreau, Emerson, Hawthorne, Poe, and Washington Irving will find a feast in this novel, which balances the God-haunted, transcendental New England of the 19th century against the dope and llama farms, survivalists, and leaf-peepers of our day.
