Fiction
X Out of Wonderland is a farce, modeled after Candide, that
takes on the Global Free Market and just about every other
aspect of contemporary life. Outrageous and poignant by
turns, X is a satire with heart, and an intense and funny
reading experience.
X, the novel�s decent and brave protagonist, maintains his
optimistic pursuit of love and The Good Life even as a
string of catastrophies brutalize him through a series of
misadventures that take him around the world. While pointing
up the absurdities of our own times, X Out of Wonderland
also shows clearly the universal predicament of all humans
in all cultures in all times: the need to find meaning and
dignity in our lives despite the certainty of death and
suffering. The story makes clear that despite our folly,
we�ve got a few things going for us: faith, hope, love, and
the capacity to endure.
