The fictional Pleasant Prairie instead is a harbor for all too common human faults- greed, lust for power, inequality, discrimination- underneath the veneer of the Hopewell College community, we find characters that exhibit both good, bad, and indifferent attitudes. The story cleverly weaves historical events from the Vietnam War, through the first Gulf War, with issues of morality that are ever contemporaneous.

More than a century has passed since the collapse and extinction of the American Nation, that massive and unprecedented catastrophe brought about equally by arsonists' flames and by massive, long-term, internal decay.

Darkness at Sunset and Vine Trilogy
ISBN: 9780982581384 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "'Darkness at Sunset and Vine' draws on conventions and stock characters from several genres such as comic books, anime, and action-adventure movies. For me, the most important influence on the structure of the novel is the tradition of Film Noir. As in a classic Humphrey Bogart movie, "Darkness" gives us the first person narrative of a jaded private investigator in Southern California, navigating his/her way through a jungle of violence and moral bankruptcy. As in the classic Noir film or Raymond Chandler novel, the heart of the story is not about solving the case. It's about the journey the...

Drive-By Cannibalism in the Baroque Tradition
ISBN: 9781937357931 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Young, clueless, cannibalistic revolutionaries are attempting to take over a serene suburban hamlet - and they are using some very unique methods. A satirical romp through the suburban landscape, Drive-by Cannibalism in the Baroque Tradition is also a study of the dynamics of revolutionary upheaval. It is also about the processes of formal and linguistic invention, about character creation, story-telling, fiction-making, and the fashioning of artistic artifacts out of reality. And, of course, it's also about parking lots, and traffic flow.
