THE GODMA'S DAUGHTERS: A Love Story, A Time Travel, A Vision Quest
An epic tale of border crossings, borders on the map, borders of the mind. By turns visionary, dangerous, enchanting. With unforgettable characters to love, including a charming burro named Pants-on-Fire, two grandmothers with shamanic powers, and two pairs of young lovers whose stories reach deep into the Maya past.

“Each beloved is different, and each is differently loved,” says Grandmother. “So you will never hear me say, I love you both the same. I do not.”

“Their great discovery was that religion is an artform, an act of the imagination. And among holy acts, the greatest by far was to imagine a new God.”

“With hindsight, her audacity looked more thoughtless than fearless. Where she once believed she could steer her stars, she now saw herself as the gypsy bauble of a vagrant Earth—a throwaway, a once-upon-a-time, the accident that happens when the wind beneath your wings lifts you far and away from familiar markers, then drops you in a strange land without a map.”

“But remember that forgiveness too is a power. To beg for it is a power, and to withhold or bestow it is a power, perhaps the greatest.
Maybe none of this is about control. Maybe it isn't really about who can own whom, who can do what to whom and get away with it, even as far as death. Maybe it isn't about who can sit and who has to kneel or stand or lie down, legs spread open. Maybe it's about who can do what to whom and be forgiven for it. Never tell me it amounts to the same thing.”
― The Handmaid’s Tale

“White Monkey Chronicles is like Douglas Adams, Kurt Vonnegut, J.K. Rowling and Gloria Steinem got drunk one night and decided to write a book!”

“The fuel on which science runs is ignorance. Science is like a hungry furnace that must be fed logs from the forests of ignorance that surround us. In the process, the clearing we call knowledge expands, but the more it expands, the longer its perimeter and the more ignorance comes into view.”
― Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters

“Man can never know the loneliness a woman knows. Man lies in the woman's womb only to gather strength, he nourishes himself from this fusion, and then he rises and goes into the world, into his work, into battle, into art. He is not lonely. He is busy. The memory of the swim in amniotic fluid gives him energy, completion. Woman may be busy too, but she feels empty. Sensuality for her is not only a wave of pleasure in which she is bathed, and a charge of electric joy at contact with another. When man lies in her womb, she is fulfilled, each act of love a taking of man within her, an act of birth and rebirth, of child rearing and man bearing. Man lies in her womb and is reborn each time anew with a desire to act, to be. But for woman, the climax is not in the birth, but in the moment man rests inside of her.”

Oh. Okay. Now I wonder, if we know each other in analogue-world Dallas? We could do a drop-off, like analogue world spies. Say I put it a plain brown wrapper...and left it at the Wild Detectives with some other fake name on it, say like Stephen Dedalus??? I'm laughing as I type this. In any case, I have enjoyed your notes on Ulysses.
We carry on, each mysterious in her own way,
Isabella
Hi Isabella! - )Sorry for the delay. Thank you for the kind offer to read your novel. I like many others operate here with an alias and would prefer to keep my address private also. - )
