Me in the Virginia City graveyard

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ... "Holy shit... what a ride!"

Nature has been having orgasm after orgasm over millennia, creating and destroying, and creating again. Some of the greatest mathematicians that ever lived, the Mayans, foretold that we are not yet truely born. We have been in gestation. That momentous event would happen only at the top of the 9-level pyramid. We are now at the 8th level. We will reach the 9th level on March 9, 2011. Some people believe our birthday will occur in the year 2012.

After the War [written in 1975 as an anti-war allegory. The book is just as relevant today as it was then] should interest fans of Kafka, Castaneda and Rulfo. Navarro's narrative, about a young Vietnam vet adrift in Mexico, moves across the spectrum of genre, from magical realism to surrealism to science fiction and horror, with shades of Western literature: imagine The Twilight Zone setting up, hacienda-style, in the remote village of El Pueblo. Navarro is an extreme risk-taker with his fiction. WARNING: This book is not for the faint-hearted.

Mr. Navarro populates the novel with characters that are at once bizarre and recognizable and whose depth comes, ironically, from their very shallowness. There are no happy endings here, no enlightenment or redemption. A Little Bit of Madness [written in 1983] is a sad story, and one that rings true because of it.
