Relation Concering Books 100 Years of Vicissitude

"First up, a disclaimer. I suspect I am a dead man. I have meagre proof, no framed- up certification, nothing to toss in a court of law as evidence of a rapid departure from the mortal coil. I recall a gun was involved, pressed up against my skull, and a loud explosion followed." Thus begins our narrator in a purgatorial tour through twentieth-century Japanese history, with a ghostly geisha who has seen it all as a guide and a corrupt millionaire as her reluctant companion. Thrown into the milieu are sake, B-29s, Lewis Carroll, Sir Thomas Malory, Melbourne, 'The Wizard of Oz', and a dirigible - along with the allusion that Red Riding Hood might just be involved.

Rate Based On Books 100 Years of Vicissitude

Good & bad, making me have a hard time coming up with a rating.Not sure if this is considered surreal, post-modern, or just a choppy book. I suspect its the latter. The writing issues with this novel bugged me & pulled me out of the story numerous times; there were brief snatches of snappy wording, glimpses of some thought-provoking settings, appearances by some intriguing characters. But, they were all too brief & none of it is ever really developed -- argh. I can see so, so much

Privy to the manuscript version and loved the story. Differs greatly from Tobacco-Stained Mountain Goat but still very much Bergen's style.

One Hundred Years of Vicissitude by Andrez Bergen will be out later this year by Perfect Edge Press, put it in your diary, don't forget.Vicissitude - it's all about change, how your life can change, how your fortune can change. Change is a sloppy beast to hold onto, it slips through your fingers sometimes before you've even realised, you wake up at 3am one morning and you suddenly wonder about your life, how you got to this point.OK, so maybe this is something you do more as you get on in years,

Our chief protagonist Wolram E Deaps, first seen in the scifi noir TOBACCO STAINED MOUNTAIN GOAT, has past away and now resides in the hereafter; a strange halfway home between life and death - a place where memories are relived in all their gore and glory.Accompanying him is a geisha, Kohana, having also past away following an innings of 100 (or there abouts). Despite the triple figure, Kohana resembles a teenager - one of many mysteries that enthralls Deaps. Initially there seems to be little

Another finish in one day job!Great book, a nice insight into the mindset of Tobaccos arch nemesis and as usual a beautiful examination of topics which clearly Mr Bergen feels passionate about.I could, as usual, talk about the beautiful characters or the vivid pictures that are once again painted but that goes without saying. The tension in this book at times is knife edge and the emotional highs (and lows) are gut wrenching.Two points which stood out most for myself. Firstly, the examination of

Though not a sequel in the traditional sense, One Hundred Years of Vicissitude is built around the character of Wolram E. Deaps, last seen in Bergen's Tobacco-Stained Mountain Goat. When we last saw him, however, things werent going too well for Deaps, so much so in fact that Vicissitude begins with the following observation on his part: First up, a disclaimer. I suspect I am a dead man. He suspects correctly.Not the nicest man in life, Deaps finds himself wandering aimlessly in a sort of limbo

Finished promotional manuscript this morning. Wonderful.
