City Without Gravity
I was alone. I was in need of money and I had a pathway. Sort of.
So says Stearns.
Aunt Harriet wants Stearns to resurrect a dream she and her husband, Fritz, shared. Before his untimely death, Fritz was a wannabe writer. Now her nephew Stearns would be invited several times over the space of a year to embark on the ‘Fritz’ journey. She hopes Stearns will prove a knight in shining amour, puzzling the pages together. This journey would undoubtedly make creditable what had been only speculative—Fritz’s superlative writing ability. The complexity of the task was beyond challenging--- as Fritz’s unpaginated various writings were scattered then piled randomly. Ultimately Stearns is beset with characters from short stories, novels, poetry and miscellaneous iterations. Too often he finds his mind warping through these strange and creative voices of the various characters. He is often lost in thought—swept along without appropriate means to always establish or set the compass.
City Without Gravity is a wildly engaging, weird and wonderful novel not without significant substance, regarding the role of the artist engaging the material and of voices being birthed.
