"Burnt Toast is a magical-realist fantasy novel written by a very young (24 years old) Peter Gould. Its main character, Silent, is a selectively mute young man, living a life of introspection and wonder on a hardscrabble collective Vermont farm. Burnt Toast tells of Silent’s quest for words for poetry and story-telling, and for recording the myths and traditions of a farm that seems to have been there forever," publishers copy.
