EBOOK
About
A dying woman, the love of his life, awaits Max, the
narrator-hero, in his hotel room while he finds his way back, caught
like a sleepwalker in a succession of daunting adventures, contending
with, in part, vampires, spies, serial killers, femmes fatales, alien
worlds, giant apes and mad scientists, all the time awaiting the return
of his absent memory.
D-Tours
is probably not on your itinerary; it is the evasive side-step you take
that gets you everywhere. It is the private tour of America you take
each night that you never quite shake yourself awake from to remember.
Jonathan Baumbach's wild ride of a novel is a satire and celebration of
movie narratives, running them one after another, one into another like
fairy tales or cultural jetsam or primal dreams.
In another sense, D-Tours
is a kind of 1001 Nights at the Drive-in. And you are there with the
narrator-hero, like Scheherazade telling your story in every imaginable
variation, because your very survival depends on reinventing the world.
