Aliasing by Mara Coson is an experimental, short novel published by Book Works as part of the Semina series "where the novel has a nervous breakdown."

This book is about a volcano,

"A volcano is about to explode, but perhaps if they don't think about it, it won't happen."

a family,

"There was a time that this family was new to Turgasoy. They say that we emerged from the soil one evening, and, if the rumours are believed we were formerly catfish."

a place,

"We live in Turgasoy, a second-class municipality that lays like gum stretched between an ocean and a lake that contains a volcano along the Pacific ring of fire. Largely unknown to the rest of the country because it is neither city not province, Turgasoy is cartographical oversight; chicanery; the black hole on the tip of the tongue; the illusion of x and o on far sides of a paper with one eye closed."

and arowana

"Perhaps the arowarna did have magical powers, and in order to receive good luck, everyone in the house had to eat the pet fish that had been preserved in the freezer."

If you're looking for something unusual, this is a good choice.
