NOTES

Cento is an experimental novel that defies convention, written in 2014 but unpublished until now. It traces a continuous, stream-of-consciousness journey of "He," a poetic and introspective narrator, as he moves through love, memory, and mystical transformation. From flirtatious exchanges with "She" to legal entanglements in Nuerasia, and finally to a Himalayan village where a rose garden's "magic eye" unlocks an infinite consciousness, Cento is a lyrical, metaphysical odyssey. With rhythmic phrasing, eccentric language, and deliberate departures from syntax norms, this novel challenges and rewards the attentive reader. A work of deep feeling and philosophical weight, Cento speaks to readers of Rilke, Hesse, and Joyce-those drawn to fiction as an artform of inner experience. Writer of Double Christ and Cento Double Christ, a novella, was written to offer the substance for a script writer to develop a screen play or script .. drop me a line if that is your talent and wish to develop the ideas further Cento is a work of fiction .. a novel, pure and simple
