Bücher von Jerome Grapel

Jermone Grapel began writing essays in the early 90's, this collection being a fractional but representative cross section of an output that is still in progress today. Writing as "Post Consumer Man," he restricts his essays to anything that may be relevant since the dawn of time to the end of eternity. They serve as a therapeutical voice to his objections to the paradigm of our culture and the negativity it is leading us into. Grapel notes that all cultures attempt to inculcate their constituents into someone's narrow minded, self-serving version of reality and this book is his attempt to translate these subterfuges into the truth.

This powerful debut novel is, primarily, a look at human love-lust and how it can manifest itself. But it is also a detailed description of how a lovely place turns into what is now generically called a "tourist trap," as well as a book with a worldview that is a pivotal part of its discourse. If one reads this book with all these levels of thought in mind, then it should be a worthwhile experience.
