A plundered myth. Chris Bell's underground revelation, Tales of the Lost Cheebah-Ha, is a myth of history and ritual. In this astonishing story cycle, God creates the world only to crawl into its center to sleep. Arap Sang, the shadow of God, tricks his way into immortality. Wasichu, a man so lazy he cannot even bear to see others work, becomes the people's savior. And the people--who want nothing more than for the world to stop just long enough to grab hold of it--never stop running.
