Coyote: by Wyatt Widmer

by Wyatt Widmer, Paul Kritikos (Illustrator)

Documented through his own memoirs, journals, and letters, an orphaned boy, raised out of a peculiar upbringing on the dawn of the modern era marked by an impending sense of futility and absurdity, seeks to fulfill his unquenchable thirst for adventure and bring answers and meaning to the life he sees as so obscure. He searches through the power of nature and the nature of man, but by his very own demeanor, the boy who idolizes not the heroes of society, but the coyotes of the American wilds and what they represent to him, finds himself entangled in brutal conflicts he was not designed to face. Through the grand quest of life, through concepts, ideas, and experiences deemed wholly untoward by social standards in his time, the Coyote will fall into the confusion and maniacal complexity that covers the human mind and its perception of the universe. In his own words, “I do not know when I exploited the deepest, most primitive formations within my brain and created this untamable soul within me, but now there is no turning back. I can only keep going.”
