Easy Whistle Solo
Richard Meros
SOLD OUT
If the exact
trajectory of the author of this book is extended via the present,
linear direction then in 2029 the author will be the protagonist of
this book. If the exponential trajectory of the author’s first love
is also mapped then this book will chart a future as clear as the arc
of the sun. If all turns out as
suggested then Easy
Whistle Solo will be as much a tale of revelation as it is a novel.
Oh yes!: it is easy
to whistle by your self. You can whistle for an afternoon, or you can
whistle for a whole life. Richard Meros found his tune and whistled
his way to 49 years of a life left alone to over-zealous, but
under-appreciated writing and escapist travel. When he meets the
daughter of a woman who had consumed his love — aorta and all —
he is thrust back into his compelling world of lust, confusion and
absurdity.
Some words of praise for other works by Meros:
“...every
establishment, however small, needs an underdog to nip at its heels.
In Wellington, the artist known as Richard Meros and the publishing
collective, Lawrence & Gibson, have emerged as the pack with
loudest yaps and the best-placed nips.” - The Dominion Post, 2011.
“gleefully
scattershot satire” - NZ Listener, 2011
