Thank you so much for your congratulatory comments in my last journal entry! kiss

Look! My book banner is up!

I am infinitely grateful to Oldernow for taking the time to read and review the novel.

" A substantial piece of literature

Although this book has fewer pages than many, it is longer than it looks! The pacing, style and story are to be read slowly, savored and allowed to soak in. Like the content - a journey into chaos - this writing itself is a journey.

I'm not a big fan of stream-of-consciousness texts, as most are merely incoherent. But this book, this novel, is not so much a stream of consciousness as a dream of consciousness, an awakening into dream, a dreaming back into waking--all done through the metaphor and truth of Toxicat's adventures with the Discarnates, literally "a band apart"... from itself, its members, and the world.

While the story is of a road trip and gives us a moment of sharing the truths of such trips, it is more, much more; it is a revelation and reveling in the deeper layers of mind, consciousness, memory and awareness of self(s) and other(s).

I have given this book to several of my friends who are writers, and every single one of them has raved about this book, or rather remarked upon its profound literacy, its substance and insight. I really think that this is a piece of generational literature that ought to be compared to Orwell's "Down and Out in Paris and London" as well as the perennial "On the Road" of Kerouac.

Not that it imitates these books at all; rather they speak of the journeys of their generations, Toxicat speaks of the journey of hers, and of herself. and it is a journey that will leave you somewhere down the road from where you were when you picked up this book.

read it slowly, and read it soon--you'll be very glad you did!"



Our short film got a good review, too!
And check out the reviewer's article, written the day before. biggrin

But my set with Ginary still needs luv to push it along to the ultra-coveted front page.

I also invested in an expensive dermal anchor disc.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
edit: It already came out. This tendency for my dermal anchors to start or finish migrating out of my skin during an NLP graduation weekend is starting to get painful. The most expensive disc I ever bought just came out of my heart chakra and it was only threaded onto the anchor for a week. Before that I had modestly priced jewelry on there. The 1st time it pushed its way out of my 3rd eye. I know the occasions are energetically intense but dang. frown



more mews soon...

Catalytically,
Thora Zine miao!!

Yeah, i think in this country there is a lot of jealousy toward talent.
So now it's like you don't need talent to succeed, just appearing on tv will get you fame and fortune these days.

That first pic is solid gold. I must say I'm a little envious of the photographer. That is a delicious snap. (I'm talking about the picture.) Love the set. kiss

The running dog lackeys of imperialism in the upper echelons of power have not been falling over themselves to expose your banner, since I've had but two brief glimpses of it in total. Still, I suppose it is a gift horse and all that. I just hope that the disgruntled masses don't build up great resentment that might be unleashed in a cataclysm.

I'm delighted with the book review. Since I like to do things under ideal conditions whenever possible, I haven't yet gotten far into your book, but I can say I was pleased, excited and charmed by what I have read.

Getting to know such a creative and dear soul on here has been a wonderful blessing. smile
