Tall Tales With Short Cocks by Arthur Graham

I've seen the comparisons to Cloud Atlas but to be frank, a better comparison is, to my own mind anyway, what would happen if one gave A Canticle for Leibowitz to David Lynch and said, 'film this.but make everyone queer.' Author Byrne has made all of them into one beautiful braid, glossy and dark and heavy.crackling with energy.predicting a path that We-the-People must walk to fulfill our personal and communal purpose. My Burgoine Review: Three timelines, three souls, three moments in Humanity's journey. I RECEIVED A DRC FROM THE PUBLISHER VIA NETGALLEY. Because only in complete darkness can one truly see the stars. In each era, age-old questions about existence and belonging and identity converge deep underground. The book jumps forward and backward in time among a pair of twins who ruled a Maya kingdom, a young American on a trip of self-discovery, and two dangerous charismatics in a conflict that will determine the fate of the few humans left on Earth after massive climate change. The Actual Star takes readers on a journey over thousands of years and six continents -collapsing three separate timelines into one cave in the Belizean jungle.Īn epic saga of three reincarnated souls, this novel demonstrates the entanglements of tradition and progress, sister and stranger, love and hate.

The Publisher Says: David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas meets Octavia Butler’s Earthseed series, as acclaimed author Monica Byrne ( The Girl in the Road) spins a brilliant multigenerational saga spanning two thousand years, from the collapse of the ancient Maya to a far-future utopia on the brink of civil war. On The Guardian’s Best Science Fiction & Fantasy of 2021 list Rating: 4.5* of five, rounded up because the economy of presentation packs the punch of Dune into the space of Cloud Atlas.
