Synopsis

This is a cookbook for gluten-free anarchists. No, no it isn't. This is the story of a wise old fisherman on his last trip out to sea. Not that either. This is a long Russian epic novel with over 3 dozen principal characters spanning 4 generations. Wrong again. This is a meta-fiction murder mystery novel firmly set in the “literary” genre. Wait WTF does that mean? OK let me try again. This is the story of a young man who finds his raison d'être and lives his life to its deathly conclusion. Is there something in your life you would kill for? Do you have murderous passion for anything? The star of this book is named Montag and he is a graduate student of literature whose reality is shaped by his readings and whose actions are motivated by his desire to protect and defend la literatura. That sounds terrible… well it sounds kinda good to me, but perhaps it’s not quite pithy enough. Okay last try: This is a story of a guy who loves books. He loves books so much that he starts killing. In his mind, the killings seem justified and righteous.

À propos de l?auteur

I read a lot, well, maybe not as much as you do, but still, quite a lot. I read good books, I mostly stick to classics and prize winners. I’ve read all of the Man Booker winners and at least 1 book by more than half the Nobel winners (I’m going somewhere with this, I promise). One thing I noticed in many of these books is that these great authors love to reference each other. As a reader, I’ve always loved this. When Nabokov writes about Turgenev, when Theroux name-drops Bowles, when Borges models Cervantes I am both enthralled and rewarded. This was the inspiration for my own novel. I wanted to write a novel that unabashedly and repeatedly referenced other famous writers, books and other works of literature. A novel completely permeated with antecedent literature.
