Follow the travel weary and beleaguered narrator as he makes a hasty, and broken, return trip HOME after nearly 12 months on the road… 12 months spent sleeping under bridges, hitch hiking in the rain, cycling across plains and desserts, and running from ghosts of an indifferent world. Alone and travel worn he returns to his beloved mountain town for rest and respite. The warm, loving embrace of The One whom he thought was so eagerly awaiting his eventual and most nontriumphant return, however.. was not.
The novel is described as a "dark, experimental examination in to many of the various aspects of love, both postive and negative, carried out through literary vignettes, both real and imagined. The literary style takes inspiration from the Beat Generation rhythmics and the Dadaist stream of consciousness all mixed with the authors own adjective- rich stylistics producing a wet, engrossing, read that is hard to put down.
The book is peppered with graphics and visuals with initial motivation being the illuminated manuscripts but composed with modern equipment and modern, slightly gothic motivation(s).
Composed in 1992, the manuscript has enjoyed a storied life of it's own leading to professional print publishing in and around the year 2000. This volume is available, now, for your reading pleasure.
