Cat-Cup Clones

Why a fictional memoir and why the arcane language? . . . to tell a storyabout a youth who is mentally a pre-teenager while physically developing as anadult? Because the works I admire most seem to fall into that literary genre: MarcelProust, James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, Lawrence Durrell, and more recent writingslike Robert Pirsigs Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and like Dave EggersA Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. And because the youth, Vaney, expressedhimself in arcane phrases like mama gift it to me and meaningful body languageas well as mysterious seizures. Finally, why self-publish? Because the publishingindustry may not yet be ready for major changes as it was unready for Proust, Joyceand others. Zahn Pesh hopes you enjoy this book.
