Fiction. GARDEN PRIMITIVES is a debut for a voice and a vision concerned with the Eden in and around us, and with our clumsiness and grace in the face of the unknown. The cinematic eye of Sosin's roving narrators leads us through the snowy, suburban decay of a family on a perfect winter night; into the narrow but honest mind of a farmer being bowled over by urban sprawl; to the beach, where a woman's life becomes focused upon the survival of a turtle nest; around a campfire on a north woods vacation where the gaps between parents and children, friends and lovers widen; and through gardens both vegetable and glassed, where the language is as fertile as what grows there.
