SIMPLY FOR THE FUN OF IT.BLUE INK REVIEW
A ZANY, INVENTIVE, AND MULTILAYERED FEVER
DREAM OF MURDER AND MAYHEMKIRKUS REVIEWS
A seamless melding of (i) the intricate plotting of Umberto Eco in The Name of the Rose,
(ii) the side-splitting humor of John Kennedy Toole in A Confederacy of Dunces,
and (iii) the fabulous world of William Blake.
In 1977, Ickey Jerusalem, San Franciscos golden-boy poet laureate (based on Blake), is found dead in a locked, first-class toilet on an arriving red-eye flight.
Ded Smith, a desperately unhappy, intelligent philistine with a highly developed philosophy to match, is called in to investigate the poets death. Thus begins a series of hilarious encounters with the members of Jerusalems coterie (updated amalgams of characters from Blakes work).
Ded soon realizes that to find out what happened, he must not only collect his usual detectives clues but also, despite his own poetically challenged outlook, get into the dead poets mind.
Fighting his way through blasphemous funerals, drug-induced dreams, poetry-charged love-making, offbeat philosophical discussions, and much, much more, he begins to piece together Jerusalems (Blakes) seductive, all-encompassing metaphysics.
But by then, the attempts to kill Ded and the others have begun.
Before Deds death-dodging luck runs out, will he be able to solve the case, and perhaps, in the process, develop a new way of looking at the world that might allow him to replace his unhappiness with joy?
