Reseña del libro "The Black Doorway: A Nativimagi Novel (en Inglés)"
The long-awaited book that bestselling novelist, Ziram Xwang, is calling "an imaginatively fresh cri de coeur" at once "spellbinding and absurdly entertaining." Plunging headfirst into the cerebral chaos, our mercurial narrative opens with: Tinkerbell-a cat with an indefatigable curiosity, and also the native impresario who seems to understand the strange emergence of The Black Doorway, unlike the saboteur who seeks to rid himself of the feline scourge by any means necessary. Schlepping into the unfathomable unknown, your trusty narrator--cleverly unnamed, but thought to be a Wastrel-enters the majestic realm of the Nation of Imagi's, along with the cat and a friend they pick up on the way over, Conscience, alias: the bald-headed Wise One, via the airport by way of train? Tinkerbell finds Quamigdellium hunts to be of first priority, and the others saunter off behind a door to find a strange circus replete with weirdness.And so it goes...tumbles and fumbles around the evanescent halcyon mollusk.Meet Oona, the famed exegete of the Democritus sector, and also the most sought-after symbologist this side of the Pale. She's Class-A STAR material. And Flip-Flop, a rapper who's been on both sides, feels it lurking on his nostalgic radar and decidedly lends a hand. A random excursion to Mars to film a reality TV show unravels rather lackadaisically. Ares commissions a painting from the great artist, Eros, to commemorate the bravest hominin diaspora in all of history. Nyx and Erebus, forgotten deities of another bygone era, drop their lines and go night fishing. And Sebastian Laissez finds religion in the salubrious form of a relatively unknown Martian goddess. The Doorway is real, it's here, and only for a limited amount of time. Introducing guest appearances by the numinous likes of Bastet, Gnosis, Persephone, Poimandres, Jennifer Love Hewitt? and Yin and Yang, the vigilant auspices guarding the Boardroom of the STARS Complex.(Why does this sound like a marketing spiel?)As for now, Atlantis surreptiously waits on refulgent islands far, far away...Just as Anthony Kiedis once sang, "Take it on the Other Side."And I'll meet you there.
