A King For Paradise Flora

A King For Paradise Flora is a humanistic and environmental story that unravels via an acid tongue with many targets. Grant Lipsic thinks that he is a misanthrope, albeit a somewhat failed one as he still retains and cultivates some personal relationships. The most important one being anthropomorphic. Consecutive days pass in a mild winter in the city. Grant critiques each one and the people, activities and things that fill each day. He lets his mind wonder and then passes judgement in his individual home grown style, or does that style and the basis for such belong to others?

He in turn is critiqued for his thoughts and comments. Relationships begin to peel away. If only he could keep his thoughts restrained to his mind, but then what would be the point of that? Grace knows that and she is willing to keep him company as they share the same dialogue – two peas in a pod, but only one will continue to grow.

The narrative concludes with a single event. This event synthesizes and encapsulates Grant’s being. Is Grant dead inside? He will tell you that he is not. Modernity is a problem, but he is not a romantic. So what is it? In this day and age, it is pretty bloody hard being Grant Lipsic.
