Produktbeschreibung

Welcome to the turbulent, emotion-packed sixties as you've never experienced them before. In author John Gardiner's groundbreaking and entertaining novel WHAAM! a cast of multidimensional, vivid characters live through 1968, 1969 and 1970, journeying through history and deep into their own emotional lives, losses, and loves. Filled with references to popular culture, music, politics, film and more, WHAAM! is a journey of the mind as well as the spirit. Because modern quantum physics insists that time does not exist, WHAAM! is written in a fluid style, moving effortlessly from past to present. In a psychedelic writing style that can only be called pop prose, WHAAM! sprinkles in the epic poetry of John Milton's classic Paradise Lost and the hard-edged language of quantum physics to craft a brand new kind of novel. History buffs will appreciate the many details of the period, while readers of groundbreaking fiction will love the thought-provoking story.

Autorenporträt

John Gardiner - Born June 21, 1949 in Perth, Western Australia. The novel, WHAAM! was written over the period 1972 - 1973 and followed by 1971 (Riders On The Storm) and 1972 (Exile On Main Street), further explorations of the representative era. From the 1970s through to 2007 more titles were written: Myths I, Myths II, Myths III, Portraits, Masques, Man à la Mode, Tapestries, Mosaic and Tutti Frutti, in addition to a book of essays, He Sits 'Mongst Us Like A Descended God, the latter being one of the author's special interests. The essays exemplify how Francis Bacon wove autobiographical threads through the Shake-speare Folio of 1623, of which he was the true author.
