Description
Originally published in three previous editions of 2018-2020, the degree to which this fiction reflects modern society in North America has rendered it highly adaptable to recent events, namely the pandemic Covid-19 that killed more than 300 000 Americans and 1.5 million around the world in 2020.
This has enabled the author to adapt the play and publish a fourth, greatly expanded edition of Equinox One that integrates this event into his vision of social and political reality today.
In this surrealistic psychodrama, a writer crosses paths with a racist Canadian engineer waging a one man war of destruction against the United States.
This edition, then, elevates the controversy to an even grander level as sexual obsession and genocidal madness combine with the already present elements of comedy, cultural decadence, and political disintegration to bring to the reader a highly original and engaging portrait of our era.
So take a mind expanding journey into the netherworld of the New Age, one that you will never forget!
Advance Praise
"A highly thought provoking 'play' that captures and explores serious social commentary with acerbic humour I have to say Equinox One took me a little out of my reading comfort zone but it was well worth it. The central character here is called Hermes who finds himself up against new age liberalism and feminism. As an academic his character brings a poignant view point to events whilst snappy dialogue and supporting characters allow for a clever examination of how the way we relate to each other has changed. Spotlighting the absurd this is a read that will leave you reflecting on what you have read.***** (5 stars) Reviewed by D Brent.
