Product Details
The four imaginative stories in this collection will recall for the reader the youthful, retro excitement of the sixties and early seventies. Return now in these quirky tragicomedies to those days of yesteryear, to flower-power and sun-signs, telephones and typewriters. Revisit an age when all monsters were imminently vanquish-able beasts of our own fertile imaginations. The world seemed fresh and unexplored with infinite horizons and the only obstacles to a revolutionary future were the petty entanglements and failures of the heart of our own contrivance.
1 "The Monster Hour" - in Nemo's boomer home, the mother tries to shield her children from violence by forbidding Saturday cartoons and horror film matinees. So the creative kids make their own monster epics. 2 "On Neptune" - in this absurdist astrological fantasy, a woebegone astronaut discovers that Neptune is the domain of religion, drugs, sorcery, conspiracies and The Fishes. 3 "The Night I Went Before the Communal Tribunal" - Tommy thinks his hippy soul mates have turned against him after he divulges the Commune's drug policy to a stranger. 4 "Too Much Domestic Drama..."- brothers Bernie and Roger find their artist aspirations in cinema and music school thwarted by tangled personal relationships.
