Welcome to the Modern World, Charlie: Short Stories

Meer over het boek

Symbolic tales set to the tune of American youth. A child believes his father must have died since he never returned for the music he always loved so much? A teenager hides in Satanic fantasies to escape the pain of the world surrounding him? A young man under the influence of LSD sees visions of the truth in a statue of a goat sitting in front of a church?The 12 stories of Welcome to the Modern World, Charlie interweave with symbols forming a vision of artistic realities that the characters would never imagine they were living. This is the origin of what Michael Anthony Adams, Jr. eventually called his attempts at "mythological realism." The question is: Can you find the keys to untangle these riddles?
