About the book

"Composed of a series of letters between a husband and wife, the Sinking of the Odradek Stadium is a comedy about love and longing, dashed hopes and frustrations, and trying to make connections. Newly wedded Zachary McCaltex (a librarian from Miami) and Twang Panattapam (originally from the Southeast-Asian country of Pan-Nam, but residing in Italy) try to trace the whereabouts of a treasure supposedly lost off the coast of Florida in the sixteenth century, even while they navigate a relationship separated by an ocean as well as by their different cultures. In the end, the postal service may be responsible for what gets lost (including Zachary's sanity) along the way."--BOOK JACKET.
