Истории Escher

Escher Griffith is young. Far too young to be loving a boy according to her town. Because when you live in Denver, you're life is controlled by the church. That means no partying, no late curfews, appropriate clothing, and certainly no falling in love before you're old enough to understand love at all. Escher is fine with all of this, just fine. You would sooner be able to move the sun.than convince her to sleep with you. Until J.R Milligan. The class clown with the goofy laugh and the stupid jokes. The boy whose father died. The boy her mother would never have approved of. The boy that makes a bet with his friends that he can sleep with Escher before the end of the school year. Will one bet go unnoticed?

Mario Santa Maria is an artist who has lost his dreams - literally. Insomnia, unemployment, and a failing relationship are his lot. Things are going badly, and then things get strange. On a visit to the Vos Modern Art Museum, Mario discovers he has the ability to intercept the communication between art and a viewer. MIXED MEDIA is a surreal tale of masterpieces, Delphic sugar cubes, and the promise of new perspectives. What's hidden by what we see?

The novel develops in the days ranging from December 28 to January 2 of unspecified years. Each day corresponds to a Season combined with one of the good journalist's 5 Ws. For example, the title of Season 1 is "Who Is Who. Four Days Before the Armageddon". The choral story of the characters therefore takes place in a physical place, however fantastic, specific, Ariminum. This indicates the desire to deconstruct the canonical narrative logics, while formally maintaining the classic units of time and space. Even the cross-references between text and metatext (the dialogues between the Writer and his Shadow) and the programmatic interruptions in the narrative, which also form an integral part of it (Interludes, bonus track), are part of the scheme of a work that excludes nothing, including the criticisms of the work itself and the responses to these criticisms. The initial test wants to make the reader aware of the particular "novel" he is holding. And it serves to forge an audience that cannot be traced back to the standard ones, but which will be defined from scratch, transversally to the "target" of readers that traditional publishing considers belonging to non-communicating silos: Fellini's fans and manga collectors, lovers of Shakespeare and online video game addicts, robotics experts and the generation that grew up with Pink Floyd, museum visitors and Netflix fans. And many, many others.
