Antic world-traveller, deKlend, is in search of the holy city of Votu, where time runs backwards and gangs of scavenging Pigeon Girls and Rabbit Girls are locked in strange rivalries. Celebrant is a sweeping fantasy of pilgrimage and reincarnation, and a travellers' guide to altered states of geography. The lives of the characters in this dream-adventure intersect like the architecture of an Escher woodcut.
