Opis

A different kind of book. Michael Steven Platt's phenomenal, ground breaking, semi-artobiographical work, Endless Shifting Sand, turns, twists, knots and uses the English language as it has not been used since Finnegans Wake by James Joyce. A wealth of word plays, puns, spoonerisms and double-entendres in a continual array of nonsensical, irreverent, confusing, insightful, poignant, droll, humorous and mind-bendingly crafted prosaic, poetic, stream of conscious writing. This unique writing style is such that one may open and read from virtually anywhere in the book without affecting enjoyment. This is a reader's read that is at times difficult and even incomprehensible, with word usage, spelling, grammar, punctuation and format presented in unfamiliar, convoluted and yet intriguing ways. The book is configured with room for notes and comments in the margins. A fun and fascinating creation Thirty-eight years in the crafting, this is a literary sculpture for the mind's eye to touch and hold in the palm of your imagination. But be aware of where you read it: it tends to make you laugh
