Produktbeschreibung

Description

A tragicomedy: Charlie Cheddar suffers from sensual deprivation. He practised celibacy and yoga for three years to liberate himself from thought-provoking fantasies and desires.

Charlie espoused a hermit's way of life after being pissed off with relentless teasing from friends and foes about his failure to find a girlfriend. He is zealous in his admiration of book knowledge and has never failed to flaunt that knowledge to his friends. The reciprocal antipathy between him and them persists.



Charlie suffers from anxiety attacks and dark moods but manages his suicidal fantasies by reading poetry and yoga. Both seem to nourish his soul. Sometimes he is proud of being a misanthropist. Charlie retreats to his imaginary bubble after nine to five clerical tasks at Her Majesty Post Office.



But the sensation of isolation that suddenly comes over Charlie has him in its grip; he torments himself with it like a thorn, and it eventually takes its toll on him.

On a Sunday at Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park, a lanky Caribbean stranger approaches dark, short and skinny Charlie. Julian, the stranger, becomes his friend who may rescue Charlie from the jaws of bitterness and despair by introducing him to a lady of high self-esteem, intellectual interest and poetry enthusiast. The lady, Helen, dated Julian once, but they were never lovers since he philandered. Julian promises to arrange a date with high hopes for Charlie. Charlie is excited but harbours fears about his foreseeable transformation.

Autorenporträt

I was born in Guyana, left there for the UK; worked and studied in London, before taking up residence in Sweden in autumn 1969. In the 70s, I tried my hand at writing fiction, mostly short stories, a four-act closet drama, a novella, and an unfinished novel. I spent two years nurturing the ambition to become an author of some repute. But the going was tough, with no financial security for the future. I shelved the idea of earning a living through writing and got a job as a hospital porter. Later, I got a BA (Eng. & Edu.). After a summer job at a psychiatric hospital, I decided to do a 4-term course for mental-health carers, Following that I completed the first of two stages of psychotherapy education and several short courses in cognitive therapy. After retirement, I did part-time mental health counselling work for several years. In February 2016, my debut book appeared: Strangers In Another Country, a collection of two short stories and two novellas, available in ebook and paperback. On 9th Dec. 2016, I published a novella, The Eternal Struggle: An Amorous Story. In March 2017, Two Girls in a Café, a short story appeared. Making Sense Of Past Time - a Novel available in paperback, and ebook format. Tell Me Who My Enemy Is - a four-act closet drama published this summer (2018). The Ballad of Calle and Maja - a short story published Nov 2018. Getting it Right, if Ever Romance Novella was published 22nd Aug -19 Four Bittersweet Romances & A Four-Act Closet Drama was published 3rd Nov 2019. In 2020, I published a short story, Darker Than Blue --This Mortal Coil. MY BOOKS ARE UPDATED (Dec 2020). I have a Twitter account @lgt41 and a blog page: lgt41blog.wordpress.com.
