Mr. Breakfast | Jonathan Carroll
4 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
From one of the great modern masters of the fantastic, “A beautiful, brilliant, meditation on art, love, inspiration and what makes life worthwhile."-- Neil Gaiman Graham Patterson’s life has hit a dead end. His career as a comedian is failing. The love of his life recently broke up with him and he literally has no idea what to do next. With nothing to lose, he buys a new car and hits the road, planning to drive across country and hopefully figure out his next moves before reaching California. But along the way Patterson does something his old self would never have even considered: he gets tattooed by a brilliant tattoo artist in North Carolina. The decision sets off a series of extraordinary events that changes his life forever in ways he never could have imagined. Among other things, Patterson is gifted with the ability to see in real time three different lives that are available to him. The choice is his: The life he is leading right now, or two very different ones. In all of them there is love or fame and of course danger because once he has chosen, there is no telling what will happen next. Mr. Breakfast is a dazzling, absorbing and deeply moving novel about the choices that we have to confront and face, confirming Jonathan Carroll’s status as one of our greatest and most imaginative storytellers.

A mystical tattoo kicks off Graham Patterson's wild ride into the lives he could have lived and could still choose, if he's willing to leave his current life behind. A whimsical look at what it means to live a good life, whether a special life is better than a happy but ordinary existence, how vital it is to appreciate the small moments. I didn't quite love this, but Neil Gaiman and Joe Hill did, so maybe it's me. Certainly an interesting read.

And surrealist as ever, Jonathan Carroll‘s newest book takes a look at what if we took a different path, how we‘re connected through time and history and future, and the mysterious tattoo that made the magic happen. Read this a while ago… catching up on book posts.

Finally starting this book after waiting soooo long for an English version of the newest novel from my favorite author. I am feeling good about it. I enjoy when something starts with a quote that could be foreshadow, and so many feelings of where this could go with these quotes.
