Newer Testaments

In the tradition of Denis Johnsons Jesus Son Brunettis wondrously wandering writing is taut and cryptic vivid and hallucinatory rendering an irony-laden aberrant odyssey for his impossibly likable protagonist.-Franco DAlessandro playwright & poet Roman Nights Stranger Love and Everything Is Something ElseEver get the feeling that your life is caught up in some kaleidoscopic Jungian dream and that you werent exactly dying but still everything youd ever been is flashing before your eyes-and then when you wake from this dissolutive dream your reality remains altered and time has become concurrent and characters from thirty-plus years ago walk into your life again if ambiguously and press you on matters of a sacred-profane written text that you never completed?Heretical and outrageous ironic and absurd Newer Testaments scores a hit in the heart of where the existential meets the fated and the writers task becomes both revelatory and abject. Into this formidable personal struggle a cast of untoward and/or diaphanous characters rotate including The Jesus Girl John Baptist Macbeth King Kisko The Tree Girl Nurse Mother a glass satyr and a French New Wave Mother. Has the nameless narrator lost his mercurial mind or is this a subconscious-shadow-world sojourn hes been practicing for all his life?-the keys to the kingdom of being.
