Author Description

This is the tale of a little boy's lonely path through life as it intersects with pets, lovers, ancestors and ancient hero's of past in many guises and aliases; until all masks and fogs are lifted to reveal great wisdom and warnings most pertinent to our times; that seemed lost to the cloudy haze of yesterdays. Before Charles can share this knowledge, he must first cross a vast chasm for which he must take a great leap of faith. Join him on his prurient path to morphologically understanding beyond even 8 metaphors and see if the great metamorphosis like that of The Monarch Butterfly can truly take flight!"This is a most brilliant and important piece of philosophical fiction that should be on every ones must read list.""If Kahlil was the Dante' of the 20th century, Karelius is the new William Blake of our 21st Century!"In the 1st 1⁄4 of the last century we had Hesse, Fitzgerald, Joyce, Lovecraft, Gibran & Tagore. Somehow Strala has captured the spirit of all six and more to make something new and wonderful for us all to long digest and savor.""Aphoristic and allusive while written wonderfully in the alliterative by this new Strala whom seems a new great voice if not sage savant for our age!""I felt like I just read five books at ounce, so profound, free flowing, dense and diverse and keeps getting better and better..." "The most creative, wise and ambitious book I have ever read!"
