'Coruscated Confabulations' is a collection of 27 separate flights of existential exploration, each dealing with specific elements and characters that may be true, imagined, or perhaps a combination of both qualities. Spanning at least 40 years of life, they serve as a testiment to the ultimate futility of human existence, yet at the same time to our incredibly persistent (and all too human) refusal to accept what may be the ultimate truth: that there simply is no truth...that the journey through the human life experience is merely what each of us adds to that physical voyage we all must make,…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
'Coruscated Confabulations' is a collection of 27 separate flights of existential exploration, each dealing with specific elements and characters that may be true, imagined, or perhaps a combination of both qualities. Spanning at least 40 years of life, they serve as a testiment to the ultimate futility of human existence, yet at the same time to our incredibly persistent (and all too human) refusal to accept what may be the ultimate truth: that there simply is no truth...that the journey through the human life experience is merely what each of us adds to that physical voyage we all must make, from birth to death. The author has been forced to conclude that what we call 'love' is more a matter of instinctual, hard-wired biological programming and that the automatic genetic codes our bodies follow largely dictate much of what our brains, in their feeble attempts to make some sense of it all, interpret to meet our own expectations. Best read with a sizeable glass of Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac at hand, the comfortable warmth of a husky dog by one's side, snow falling gently outside one's window and the primeval encouragement of a cozy hearthfire. Music is optional, but Mendlessohn is helpful, interspersed with cuts from the Guckenheimer Sour Kraut Band.
Autorenporträt
Born as a Chinese 'Fire-Dog' (in Chinese astrology), the author was likely also born under a wandering star, since his life has been a rather interesting mish-mash of confused circumstances and improbable adventures of absolutely no lasting consequence whatsoever. Born to career military officer and an aristically inclined school teacher, too late to join the so-called 'Beat' writers and not inclined to explore the succeeding 'Hip' generation, the author nevertheless pursued interests in aerospace medicine, history and East Asian civilisation, while skirting the heady atmosphere of Berkeley (CA) of the early 1970s as a writer. These interests later took him to the Middle East (Southwest Asia) where he worked for the Royal Saudi Government as a civilian consultant in defense and aviation technology. A frustrated author of admittedly VERY mediocre ability, he has in recent years gathered many earlier writings together in a modest collection of works containing stories, poems and anecdotes experienced over past decades. A resident of Sacramento (CA) and Moloka'i (HI), he presently is retired and living in Sacramento (CA) with his Chinese wife and a small pack of Siberian Husky dogs (who dopubtless regard him as only an 'Omega' member of the family pack). As the United States continues to disintegrate chaotically in a cultural graveyard-spin (in 2017), he looks back at his Vietnam USAF service days wishing that he would have sought political asylum in Canada instead, at that time, and still thinks about Canada wistfully from time to time, as cultural chaos threatens to destroy the 'Great American Experiment' we know as the United States.
