Although I've had many essays published, I'm a new novelist and I have a work that I feel is (at last) falling into the shape I want it to have. However before putting it out there I'd really like to receive some feedback. I want to know that it's "properly cooked" to other readers' tastes and who it will appeal to/not appeal to. So I'm looking for some experienced but sympathetic reviewers to tell me.
This is a longish work (168,000 words) set in 1990. The work is comprised of a number of apparently disparate stories that bring together elements of personal drama, romance, folly, fantasy, memoir, and journeys into self and the natures of man and woman, love and meaning.
These stories finally entwine in an unconventional and surprising ending, that I think will leave readers grinning and wondering, was it all tongue in cheek after all?
Although there are significant plot elements, it is really a story about people, their dreams and regrets, projects and purposes. I already know it will bore "action" readers to tears but I'm hoping the rest of us will get a long smile from it.
If that's the kind of book that rocks your boat and you've the time and the interest to help me, I'll be very grateful. Heck, I promise you'll even receive an acknowledgement.
