The earth under their blue-skinned feet is made of silica, and yellow suns glow out of a flat metallic sky. Whatever lies outside their universe is, by definition, Nothing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJust over their heads, in a place that shouldn't exist, lives an alien race. These creatures also call themselves human, but they have bodies without skin and tongues that speak gibberish. Their alien world is full of things Kanan and Tei are incapable of naming without betraying their own humanity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen a twist of fate brings these two worlds crashing together, Kanan and Tei find themselves racing unwillingly towards treason: Tei with his mind, Kanan with her legs. As their language grows, so does their universe. But the more they learn about the history of the human race, the more they wonder if they've ever truly been human-or if they even want to be. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrimming with beauty, mystery, and literary innovation, \u003ci\u003eThe Limits of My World\u003c\/i\u003e daringly confronts the fragility of the words that make us who we are. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGregory Coles\u003c\/b\u003e is the award-winning author of two memoirs and a contributor to Jim Henson's \u003ci\u003eThe Dark Crystal Author Quest\u003c\/i\u003e.
