Literary Adventures
Citizen of the Wild, a novel
A man returns to his native city and ex-lover after a long absence ... just in time to lose them again. He arrives on the eve of a revolution!
In act one, a whirlwind of chaos engulfs the city. Its royal rulers are overthrown and the man's closest friendships are tested. In act two, the prosperous city becomes a feral enclave of tribes. A stranger solicits the man's help to traverse the tribal lines in pursuit of a profitable deal. In the end, the man and the stranger are hunted by all sides in a race to survive. The man discovers, within himself, the self-reliant qualities that are necessary to build the city and his friendships anew.
The writing style is immersive and emotive. It features a second-person narrative to deeply connect the reader with the main character without bias. In the spirit of classical literature, the prose is interspersed with short philosophical interludes. The story can also become a trilogy (Citizens Of The Wild & City Of The Wild).
