Blurb
After being fired from Saint Pluvia’s most powerful tech company, Simón, a burned-out experimental musician, falls into a catatonic depression. When his old friend, Chanda, convinces him to join a bird-watching club, Simón discovers a world of hidden waveforms within bird songs. His quest to understand the phenomenon plummets him into an existential mystery of ecological mayhem, an untrustworthy chemistry teacher, an accidental pigeon rehabilitator, and dangerous passion projects. Equal parts reflective and satirical, Spark Bird is a dreamlike saga of intergenerational trauma, the fine line between support and enmeshment, and the rewards and risks of creative obsession.
