Avant Garde of Classic Greek Tragedy
April 2, 2014 | Filled under Literary Fiction |
|
Take a look at today’s new release, an avant garde update of a classic Greek tragedy. Don’t miss Lazarus by Jason Akley, filled with allusions to the Bible, the Beatles, Marx, Nietzsche, Johnny Cash and the cool jazz of Miles Davis.
A Little About Lazarus:
Lazarus is a contemporary version of the Oedipus trilogy, Sophocles’ timeless epic about the benighted family of a man who kills his father and marries his mother. However, the novel is less a retelling than a refraction. Akley shines his ancient source through a prism and watches the colors spin and dance on a white wall, jumping between generations and growing family trees whose limbs are sometimes chopped with surprising speed, he delivers a tale as engrossing as it is complex. The author experiments with numerous forms, piecing his story together with diary entries, e-mail correspondence, dramatic dialogue and, to great effect, screenplay.
About the Author:
Jason Akley enjoys spending time with his two daughters, and he hopes to continue engaging readers with thoughtful stories. Akley’s previous work includes a number of award-winning children’s books, but this project is decidedly adult. Contact him at: jasonakley@ymail.com
What One Reader Has To Say About Lazarus:
“…a long book, but the magic of Jason Akley deserves all the attention he is receiving. Brilliant.” –Grady Harp
