Praise for this book
"Half fable, half caper, and a pure joy to read. If I have to go to hell, this is the fox I want to take me there." - Holly Black
"Effortlessly adept, Rowe's topographies guide us straight into the heart of an undiscovered country." - Richard Butner
"How mysterious is the Navigating Fox! But no more so than the bargains he strikes, the deceptions he weaves, and the paths he walks: geographical, political, ecumenical, and otherwise. The Navigating Fox is by turns charming, biting, enigmatic, languorous, and dangerous, and leaves the horizon just a bit more infinite than before." - C S E Cooney
"Whimsical, rakish, and touching--and also there are talking raccoons!" - Max Gladstone
"The Navigating Fox is something only Christopher Rowe could deliver: a twisty New Weird noir mystery that follows a bad priest, a pair of mapmaking raccoons, a bison queen, and a very clever fox. There's nothing like it; you have to read it." - Alix E Harrow
"A trip to Hell you're going to want to take: Christopher Rowe's The Navigating Fox asks the eternal question where do we come from? in a story that is completely charming, philosophical, enlightening, entertaining, and clever as, well, a fox." - Alma Katsu
