A lot of brooding about form. Definitely not a traditional narrative!
Layered, like the earlier novel, Sodom. Parts to include: entries from CJ's blog ... a play within a novel - CJ meets a crone on the road, who convinces him to write and with her perform Brechtian street theater, probably directed by his theater buddy Matt ... maybe this idea explodes, a senior theater group gets involved, they become Pussy Riot For Seniors ... maybe CJ and others get arrested ... a court drama as frame action? ... a death, a senior actor has heart attack on stage and children sue CJ as instigator ... an old folks nude sit in, protest, maybe at a beauty pageant ... another frame action? a DA preparing his case against CJ and others.
Fast moving, outrageous, darkly comic, thought-provoking. Theme: old artists and eccentrics, I'm mad as hell and won't put up with it any more.
CJ's Last Will And Testament, still my working title. Drawing by Tom Strah:
