The Nostalgia Echo

Mickey Hess

4.9/5 (10202 ratings)

Description:“Experience shows that imagination alone can cause all this.”New novel by Mickey Hess, coming mid-2011 from C&R PressNostalgia is coming back around. A professional narrator is searching for his birth mother, armed with nothing but a Polaroid photograph of her at a 1976 book release party for Dr. Everett Barnes’ Nostalgia: Its Origins and Attributes. Dr. Barnes, meanwhile, is about to become famous for a book he wrote thirty years ago. Nostalgia – once considered a potentially-fatal disease when it was first diagnosed in the 17th century – has been relegated to the realm of the sentimental, but based on Dr. Barnes’ theories, people are beginning to reconsider its dangerous effects: doctors return to the old cures; pharmaceutical companies solicit Dr. Barnes to endorse the new anti-nostalgic medications they have developed; and the narrator seeks out Dr. Barnes to somehow realign the missing pieces of his past into a story with a beginning, middle, and ending. The Nostalgia Echo presents a revealing look at the problem of progress — that moving forward often means leaving something behind."The Nostalgia Echo is the best book you will read this year, or any year: the exact antidote to all those tired, humorless, beige-colored novels of recent memory, the writing here pops with both a dazzling intelligence and a devastating depth of character. Mr. Hess carries on in the great tradition of Vonnegut, D. Barthelme, and every other genius literary madman." -- Joe Meno, author of The Great Perhaps"The Nostalgia Echo is ridiculously witty in its observations of the absurdities of pop culture. But more importantly, Mickey Hess has created the most inventive narration technique I've ever witnessed."-- Joey Goebel, author of CommonwealthWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
