Produktbeschreibung
The KIVA Chronicles is a fictional odyssey, intermittently fantasy, factual, suspenseful, and semi-autobiographical story of a boy growing up during the 1950's,60's, and 70's, and extending through his advanced studies in Europe contained in three Books which can be enjoyed in whole or in part.This travelogue of adventures through the USA and Western Europe is an easily readable tale of intrigue and events of ancient and modern history. Extensive colorful language creates a visionary dialogue of art, architecture, history, and philosophical discussions of varied subjects to provide a genealogical, historical, and ideological portrait of an artist growing up during the Cold War, and the Vietnam War. The overall story is a mystery that is woven and unravelled through many adventures as a youth and ultimately ending with extensive art studies in Europe. The KIVA Chronicles reveal the mystery through a series of gatherings called KIVAs that provide not only narrative and dialogue among and between animals, but also provides portals to the realm of the living. Thus, much like the indigenous communities of North America, the KIVA is a gathering place where the physical and spiritual realms intertwine over space and time revealed through portals of reality. The animals are the pets that lived with and served the boy during his life.
