![]() Anyhow, The Book of Koli was the last book I really read when it was nice out and I started to not feel well. ![]() I can go out on that still because it is private, and no one is there (well before I got sick). I have a balcony/patio/whatever you want to call it (the mountain lion showed up on that night without being invited). Not that anyone will believe me but that’s cool. Also, it may just point to a direction of what hope might linger, if mother nature ever decided to give us another chance. The Book of Koli is the beginning of what promises to be a very unique take on the immediate and long-term devastation of our current state of in-actions. What you do with that voice is what makes each story unique and critical. Everyone has their own lens and their own voice. What is essential for not just Carey, but all those spinning the tales of these scary times, is what they do with them. ![]() ![]() The Book of Koli, the first book in the Rampart Trilogy is, as Carey mentioned in his interview with me (linked above), a part of a trend of story lines where mother nature takes some form of revenge on humanity, because it is on the minds of anyone who is paying attention, authors included. Ok, maybe not Oscar Wilde, but he’s an outlier. The world has always believed in art imitating life. Sure, they’ve been writing about plagues, dystopian societies and apocalyptic world fates for years, but that doesn’t mean they should be panicking now. ![]() I think a lot of authors (not necessarily M.R Carey because well he’s M.R. ![]()
