Like most of my books, assigning
it a specific genre is difficult, however YA fiction comes closest. A musical
extrovert and deaf introvert come together during school years and as young
adults begin a promising family career. He can’t resist getting involved in the
2016 political scene with tragic consequences.
For the few who read “Ickee
Mushta”, this may sound familiar—with good reason. The first third was lifted
from that book, condensed somewhat and used again here, with all reference to
the “Ickee” name removed. Part 3 on extends the story and makes the novel
complete with out suffering the impact of subsequent events which I feel rendered
“Ickee Mushta” obsolete. Significant meat, conflict and emotion is added.
Since the book deals with the
sinister issues facing American democracy during the dark 2016-2020 era, it
will inevitably be considered political. People leaning toward progressive will
enjoy it. Trumpers will find it sorely tests their ability to keep an open
mind. While it deals with the American experience, in a world where pressures
to move toward an authoritarian government pop up all over the place, it
provides useful perspective globally.
