520    "For readers of George Saunders, Kelly Link, David 
       Mitchell, and Karen Russell, This Census-Taker is a 
       stunning, uncanny, and profoundly moving novella from 
       multiple-award-winning and bestselling author China 
       Mieville. In a remote house on a hilltop, a lonely boy 
       witnesses a profoundly traumatic event. He tries--and 
       fails--to flee. Left alone with his increasingly deranged 
       parent, he dreams of safety, of joining the other children
       in the town below, of escape. When at last a stranger 
       knocks at his door, the boy senses that his days of 
       isolation might be over. But by what authority does this 
       man keep the meticulous records he carries? What is the 
       purpose behind his questions? Is he friend? Enemy? Or 
       something else altogether? Filled with beauty, terror, and
       strangeness, This Census-Taker is a poignant and riveting 
       exploration of memory and identity"--|cProvided by
