A harmless desire turns into a psychological odyssey, after a writer checks into a bed and breakfast in Chicago where a writer vanished years before—
Are dreams, memory, and DNA linked? Where are we from? How did we get to where we are now? Why does recorded human history only date back roughly ten-thousand years? What happened billions of years ago? Do we live in an endless cycle of memories and dreams that twist, turn, and rearrange into reality? Do we decide, or is it all just accidental, random chance? Why do some people have exceptional ability, talent, or knowledge? What is a genius? Where does this special gift come from? Who decides who gets it? As we grow there are more questions than answers. Are we controlled? Given orders through some mysterious communicative device? For us; time is running out—or is it? John Bird Ray’s harmless desire to write a book turns into a psychological odyssey as he documents a turbulent journey through unknown dimensions, his imagination, and realities of the city, after he checks into a bed and breakfast in Chicago where a writer vanished years before—
stay the course and you will be rewarded
The cover of this book is inviting,a mysterious sepia picture of an old house with a shadowy figure in the background.If you want the linear realism of John Grisaham or Michael Crichton or that ilk,you're in the wrong place. This is more intellectual,poetical and layered.A cool,laid-back photographer writer appears at a chigo b and b and things start to get strange. The character calmy drifts along as an immense conspiracy roils aroud him.the book uses a lot of interesting metaphors and takes its rhythm from one;its like morse code.Dash-dash-dash long exposition about arrival in chigo dot,meets the love of his life.It is staccato,asymmetrical and strange but some beautiful inmages like the cat paintings and the lovely hero it all works
Thanks
