Author Description

Still bothered by those troublesome, burning questions? Still looking for answers? Well, I'm afraid you can no longer ask the Fictionary; it's too busy right now.The Fictionary Part Two - Beyond Reason picks up where The Fictionary Part One - Beyond Reality left off. I won't say too much here; I don't want to give away any spoilers.As in Part One, an essential element of Part Two is a story that the Fictionary tells Codoné in reply to one of her questions. This is a tale called Concrete Bungle about a young boy, Toby Ore, whose body gets mashed in a concrete mixer and whose spirit transfers to the very concrete and clay of the house being built. A series of rapidly escalating events culminate in Toby's spirit inhabiting the fabric of the entire town (which happens to be Codoné 's home town), and eventually taking form as a concrete & steel colossus over a mile-high, which then escapes from the clutches of the army pursuing it by disappearing into the sea.More than that I will not tell. Suffice to say, this story is much longer than any of the others told by the Fictionary; and much, much more important... or is it?
