In case you missed it, Festa has published a special German edition of Jonathan Carroll‘s WHITE APPLES — numbered and signed by the author. Here’s the synopsis…
Schürzenjäger Vincent Ettrich erwacht von den Toten. Aber er hat weder eine Ahnung, weshalb das passiert, noch was er auf der anderen Seite erlebt hat.
Bald findet er heraus, dass er von seiner großen Liebe Isabelle zurückgeholt wurde. Sie ist schwanger, mit seinem Kind. Und dieses Kind könnte eine entscheidende Rolle für die Zukunft des Universums spielen.
Deshalb muss es wissen, was Vincent im Jenseits gelernt hat – könnte er sich nur daran erinnern…
White Apples ist eine skurrile, fantastische und unwiderstehliche Geschichte über die Liebe, den Tod und über das Leben, wie sie nur der große Erzähler Jonathan Carroll schreiben kann. Dieser Autor lässt seine Leser die Welt mit neuen Augen sehen.
WHITE APPLES is now available as an English-language eBook, published by JABberwocky (who have recently published a whole host of the author’s novels and collections). Here’s the synopsis…
Vincent Ettrich is a charming carefree man who discovers he has recently died but been mysteriously resurrected. As he tries to piece together the circumstances of his death and the reason for his return, he learns his resurrection is not just a second chance at life but also a pivotal event in a cosmic battle.
Vincent’s lover, Isabelle, plays a crucial role in this mystery. She is pregnant with their child, who is destined to be a key figure in this vast struggle. Their child, however, will only survive if Vincent can protect the delicate balance between life and death. This responsibility forces him to confront his past, his relationships, and the metaphysical forces that govern the universe.
As Vincent uncovers the truth about his resurrection, he encounters a series of enigmatic characters and surreal events that challenge his understanding of reality. The novel delves deeply into themes of love, fate, and the cyclical nature of existence, all while maintaining a dreamlike and haunting atmosphere.
