I’m reading Lurkers, by Sandi Tan. The book’s satire hints at how the proliferation of churches in the neighborhood, may have shared their roots with the deodar trees lining the roads in the vicinity.

Mr. Z talks to Rosemary about the origins of the deodar trees planted along Santa Claus Lane. The deodar is prized for its strong and fragrant wood. It’s majestic standing earned its nckname of being a divine tree, aka “god’s tree”.

There is a series of posts on art drawn during my reading of Lurkers. To see more illustrations of characters and material from Lurkers, please type in the keyword Lurkers, into the search box.

A mysterious naked girl is one of the Lurkers who hangs around Raymond van der Holt’s house (Tan, Lurkers, p. 33). Her black hair covers her countenance, more than a face mask could. She taunts him by slamming her nubile body against his window pane, leaving her imprint.

Lurkers has many witty observations of life in the suburbs of California. There’s an infamous lurker in the form of a young naked girl, who appears to Raymond van der Holt, an ageing writer. Alas, he seems to prefer boy fans. Look out for the art on this lurker. Coming soon.
