[ Dystopian / Philosophical / Magical-Realism / Literary / Romance ]
Award-winning pioneer of the cell phone novel movement in the West, author of “Secondhand Memories”, “Move”, “All’s Well That Ends Well”, TAKATSU, will be experimenting with an ambitious full prose narrative in a mind-blowing provocative journey set in Tokyo that delves into the human condition, satirizes and challenges our socio-political system and worldviews – where abstract concepts become reality and reality into projections; while images and sounds of the technological era ricochet, individual thought, identity and memories decay.
“They say your order reveals the depths of your being. Like wearing your heart on your sleeve.”
Sometimes the smaller things in life, are the start to something bigger.
Sometimes it is all that is left, that reminds us of who we are.
“System is Everything.”
An Individual vs System novel.

“An interesting ‘vapoury’ style that seems to hover off world at times. …atmosphere and dialogue are strong…shows assurance and poise. Also very promising in suggestions. …Author’s intent to invoke/evoke mystery is very effective…haunting and strange (which is good); intelligence present on page…some sense of terror in the core here… You’re on to something different, striking.”
– B.W. Powe, Associate Professor, Dept of English, York University and author of “A Tremendous Canada of Light”, “A Climate Charged”, “Outage”, “The Unsaid Passing”, and “Marshall McLuhan and Northrop Frye: Apocalypse and Alchemy”
