Marathon D’Écriture

Andrew Komarnyckyj

Beschreibung

In the solitude of his room, Alan Bland confronts the shattering loss of his enigmatic best friend, known only as X. Armed with a typewriter and a heart on tenterhooks, Alan embarks on a marathonian six-day, six-night challenge, pouring out a torrent of memories to unravel the man who was both his confidant and rival.
 
X, a figure cloaked in unsettling secrecy, formed one pinnacle of a tangled love triangle with Alan and the elusive Amara, a woman whose allure proved both magnetic and devastating. As Alan recounts their fraught romance, he lays bare the wounds of Amara’s choice.
 
As the hours blur and exhaustion takes hold, Alan’s prose frays, veering into fevered, semi-conscious revelations. Exhausted and close to death, after hitting the wall, he makes a supreme effort at the climax of his tale to finally reveal the startling truth about X.
 
For readers of Andrew Komarnyckyj’s sharp wit and literary finesse, as seen in his novel Ezra Slef, Marathon d’Écriture delivers a darkly romantic and intellectually provocative tale, laced with mordant humour and profound insight, a journey that will resonate with all those who have ever wrestled with the ghosts of love, secrecy, memory and death.

The Ghost and the Stolen Tears

Cleo Coyle

Norma is a modern-day nomad. Living out of her van and teardrop trailer, she revels in self-reliance, solitude, and reading in the glorious peace of nature. Jovial, wise, and scrupulously honest, she's become an uplifting presence in the little town of Quindicott, Rhode Island, where bookseller Pen is thankful to have her part-time help. But it's Norma's other job, working as a housekeeper at the Finch Inn, that gets her into terrible trouble. Norma is accused of stealing jewels from a guest's room: the legendary Valentino Teardrops, an antique necklace and earring set, inherited by a young socialite. Pen doesn't believe Norma is guilty of the crime—though the evidence is distressingly strong. And when the spirited Norma vanishes before her arrest, Pen turns to another spirit . . . 
 
 
  
Jack Shepard, PI, may have been gunned down decades ago, but his memory hasn't been ghosted. Back in the 1940s, those same Valentino Teardrops starred in a bizarre case of betrayal and murder. From the look of things, history is about to repeat. Now Jack is back on the job, and Pen is eternally grateful.
