The Absurdist

An Absurd Roadtrip into a Mercury Mind..

 

“In the morning it was morning and I was still alive. Maybe I’ll write a novel, I thought. And then I Did” – Charles Bukowski

 

An author awakes one morning in a hotel room in a small European town with little understanding of how he arrived there or what his purpose is, other than he needs to start writing a novel.

 

Despondent, depressed and downtrodden, he attempts to find the meaning of his life by taking a metaphorical road trip through his thoughts, his past, his present, his hopes for the future and his dreams.

 

All is not as it seems, however, as the more he delves into himself, the less stable his reality becomes. Is he losing his sanity or could he actually be a fictional character in someone else’s novel?
