Publisher's Summary

Has something gone amiss at the home of the Clam sisters?

In the early years of the 20th century, one sister purchases a rare blue spong from a songbird dealer without realizing its strange provenance. Soon, the aristocratic sisters and their staff find themselves exposed to a flying koan, provoking them to cast off their commonplace mores, their staid lives, for something altogether bold and ribald: criminal activities, same-sex affairs, even political agitation!

De la Croix's The Blue Spong and the Flight from Mediocrity is a humorous novel that showcases the follies of heteronormative, misogynistic, repressive life.
