THE IMPOSSIBLE VISITS LITERARY COLLECTION

Noël’s seven books about Sasquatch cover a broad range of topics. They discuss what the creature is (a fellow human species, a wild version of ourselves), its typical handiwork (stick and tree structures), its behavior toward us (both evasive and interactive), and then, most importantly, what this handiwork and behavior say about the fundamental nature of our forest-dwelling next of kin.

Drawing together source material from the fields of autism research, cognitive science, primatology, genetics, and experimental psychology, Noël’s books seek to advance the conversation beyond eyewitness accounts and repetitive physical descriptions (as compelling as these can be), to chart a course toward a broader recognition of this intimate inter-species dance and toward a more accurate view of our own place in the tree of life.
