A Long, Strange Trip.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I found this in a used book store, and bought it in on the jacket cover and design alone. I thought at first it was a novel, but it is actually a collection of stories. The twist is, every story has the same hero with the same name, but each story exists in an independant time of another. The stories span all sorts of different times and different genres, from thriller to drama to comedy to historical to sexual. I'm not really sure if it adds up to anything- the tone is very inconsistant from one story to the next- but the stories are individually riveting. It's a shame that the author has not written anything else. For a literary debut that came out nine years ago, it is remarkably fresh. If you can track it down, pick it up.
