1. Shortly after moving into the house in Ocean Park, Maine we found a copy of a novel entitled The Emperor of Ocean Park by Stephen L. Carter. "A complex, smart mystery filled with intrigue, drama, and more than a little danger awaits" the reader of this book, though we found out that it actually has nothing to do with the tiny incorporated area of Ocean Park in which we lived.
After living with the novel for a few months, we traveled to northwest Connecticut for work. One sunny afternoon in late November, a co-worker and I searched the nearby town of Winsted for a book store. The man at the newspaper store told us with passionate aggravation that no bookstore existed in the town. We decided to travel to the next town over, Torrington to look for something.
We found a Super Goodwill with some books including a prominently displayed copy of The Emperor of Ocean Park. Additionally, we found a working Globe Lamp, an item I had been daydreaming about quite seriously.
Since this encounter, I have noticed a copy of this book in every used bookstore I have visited.
We visited another co-worker from Ocean Park on Cape Cod where she is living for the winter. She presented me with a present that she had found on her own...a copy of The Emperor of Ocean Park.
Has anyone else ever encountered this novel? There are several other qualities about it which I find intriguing and hilarious (such as figuring out what is going on with the background of the author photo.)
