The King Of Good Intentions Part Three (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The oft-used adjectives--"rollicking," "uproarious," "zany," etc.--don't half do justice to the world John Andrew Fredrick has created in his The King of Good Intentions trilogy. In this, the final volume of the series, the author's madcap, kaleidoscopic, dazzling take on love (and love triangles) and life and an up-and-coming indie rock band called The Weird Sisters in 90's Los Angeles comes full circle as the story of principal bandmates and paramours John and Jenny (plus the mysterious Katie who comes between them) reaches its thrilling conclusion: an ending that, as you'll find, bears out the T.S. Eliot line "in my end is my beginning."

Lyrical, heartbreaking, discursive/digressive, startlingly as poetic as it is laugh aloud funny, part three of The King is sure to draw favorable comparisons to the Russian-American master who loved tennis and chess and to play elaborate games with his readers; as well as to a certain bandanna-sporting/tennis-loving genius-writer we lost so tragically some time ago now. As The Los Angeles Review of Books has observed about Fredrick's work: "Come to him, you omnivorous readers with strong opinions. Follow him from A to B, and you'll laugh, furrow your brow, and maybe raise an objection or two. It's not a dangerous trip, but blink and you'll surely miss something."
