LOUISVILLE, KY., Feb. 5, 2014 — Author Jack Remick is proud to announce the recent release of his novel The Book of Changes. The Book of Changes is a literary fiction novel that gives an impression of a time and place we all think we know a lot about, but really don’t. Away from the headlines and the sensationalism of The Free Speech Movement, this novel tells a story about love and poetry, about drugs and crisis. All the characters sit on the edge of chaos peering into the future without any idea what will come. The book trailer for The Book of Changes was revealed today on DGT Book Promotion news. In addition, Jack Remick shared an interesting interview this week on the Reading and Writing Addiction blog about himself and the release of The Book of Changes. Jack’s interview can be followed at http://www.readinwritin.blogspot.com and the official trailer for The Book of Changes can be viewed on YouTube.About The Book
It’s 1971, Berkeley. Beast comes to the Cathedral of Learning in a time of political upheaval, hallucinogenic drugs, group sex, and electric, acid, psychedelic, mind-bending rock and roll. On his quest for meaning he hangs out with a Harley-riding dwarf, a raven-haired Gothic artists’ model, a sorority girl turned nymphomaniac, and the heir to a family of French aristocrats with a bloody history dating back to before Joan of Arc. The world is exploding, but students still go to classes, fall in love, get laid, study in libraries, win awards, even graduate. The country is on fire, and Berkeley supplies the fuel.
Praise for The Book of Changes:
“Remick’s mastery of the narrative craft infuses a common story line—college kid faces challenges and grows up—with an intimate sense of character and setting…The Book of Changes shines in the crowded genre of coming-of-age narratives.” Melissa Wuske, ForeWord Reviews, Winter, 2014.
About The Author
“This novel, The Book of Changes, doesn’t purport to be either a sociological thesis or a history of anything. It is a fictional record of a sort of filtered through time and the consciousness of young women and men who were looking for a new definition of America, of California, of the world.” – Jack Remick
