Whales gliding above a shipwreck and a lost cup and saucer. An animatronic forest twenty stories tall. urban wolves in the light of an apartment building. A line of mosquitoes in uniforms and regalia honored as heroes of the last great war.amp160Bit by bit Wiggins unspools the secrets of his worldamp8212the conflict that brought it to the brink and the great thinker Michaux who led the diorama revolution himself now preserved under glass.amp160After a phone call in the middle of the night Wiggins sets out to visit the Diorama of the Town an entire dioramic world hundreds of miles across where people are objects of curiosity taxidermied and posed.
