{"description": {"type": "/type/text", "value": "Claypole is not \"a large man.\" He is a fat man. A fat man with thin limbs, like an egg with tentacles. And life is not going well. He's alone, idle, and on the brink of a medical crisis when a childhood acquaintance makes him an offer he can't understand, can't talk about, but ultimately can't refuse. A week later, he finds himself in rural Scotland, plunged into an eccentric community at war over a wind farm. Claypole is supposed to be a backer, but he has no idea what side he's on, even though it may earn him a lot of money. All he wants is to look like a hero in front of the woman with the bright blue eyes who brought him here. To do so he must run the gauntlet of a family with many dark secrets, some dangerous hippies and their hallucinogenic potions, and the wilderness itself with all its threats and dangers."}, "title": "Whirligig", "covers": [8183399], "subject_places": ["Scotland"], "subjects": ["Wind power", "Fiction", "Fiction, general", "Scotland, fiction", "English fiction"], "key": "/works/OL17874876W", "authors": [{"type": {"key": "/type/author_role"}, "author": {"key": "/authors/OL7414545A"}}], "type": {"key": "/type/work"}, "latest_revision": 4, "revision": 4, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2018-06-01T05:21:47.443279"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2024-09-10T23:56:52.650515"}}
