Shriek: an absurd novel - Paperback

by Davide A. Cottone (Author)

The main character of the book, an eccentric Aleph McNaught, is at a crossroads in what he sees as a meaningless life. Abused as a child, he turns to drugs and ends up locked up in an asylum before launching into a new and wild life populated by a host of multiple personalities.

McNaught, as narrator, invites the reader on a psychotic ride into his crazy headspace while commenting on the state of a fictitious society.

His goal is to tilt the axis of the old world order just enough to make a difference to the way people think. Only then can the megalomania in politics, economics, society and religion cause the old world order to spin out and unravel. In its place, a new world order will gather up the threads on an axis realigned to the demands of an ever evolving 21^st century world.

Aleph invites the reader to help him empower the people of his beloved crippled country by offering them an absurd other-worldly alternative that offers political stability, social equality and economic security. He promises a tamper proof solution that can last forever.
