The best epic-poem since Homer is here

Sept. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- The best epic-poem since Homer is here...

'Involution & Evolution' by Joss Sheldon has been out for less than three weeks, but it has already received a raft of 5-star reviews on Amazon and Good Reads, where it has been described as 'beautiful', 'blasphemous' and 'bonkers'.

This gender-defying novel combines rhyming-prose, colourful-dialogue and magical-fairytales, to create a literary masterpiece which is like nothing that has been written before.

The story...

'Involution & Evolution' is the story of Alfred Freeman, a boy who does everything he can; to serve humankind. He feeds five-thousand youths, salves-saves-and-soothes; and champions the maligned. He helps paralytics to feel fine, turns water into wine; and gives sight to the blind.

When World War One draws near, his nation is plunged into fear; and so Alfred makes a stand. He opposes the war and calls for peace, disobeys the police; and speaks out across the land. He makes speeches, and he preaches; using statements which sound grand.

But the authorities hit back, and launch a potent-attack; which is full of disgust-derision-and-disdain. Alfred is threatened with execution, and suffers from persecution; which leaves him writhing in pain. Will he survive? Will he stay alive? Or will he turn insane?

The author...

With a degree from LSE to his name, Sheldon had spells selling falafel at music festivals, being a ski-bum, and failing to turn the English Midlands into a haven of rugby league. Before, in January 2013, he went to McLeod Ganj in India; a village which plays home to thousands of angry monkeys, hundreds of Tibetan refugees, and the Dalai Lama himself. It was there, wrapped up in a blanket which featured some animated teddies, that Sheldon wrote 'Involution & Evolution'; a book about love in a era of hatred, truth in a era of lies, and peace in a era of war.

The offer...

Free e-copies of 'Involution & Evolution' are available for journalists and publications.
