Octopodus – (Lost in the Post) by Trev Teasdel is a 16 chapter novella written chapter by chapter each day on Facebook and collated in the digital Novella. The book is not about Lockdown or the Pandemic but mirrors the atmosphere and fear and the media hysteria with the motifs of the Octopi and the Terrapin running through out the book. It’s a choreographed stream of consciousness (which sounds like a contradiction) initially taking it’s influence from the first page of the Cannery Row by John Steinbeck.
