Dimitri

"Perhaps I am a fool to live here too." Dimitri is a frenetic, fragmented, and deeply cinematic collection of short stories and experimental poetry describing the interconnected lives of a handful of ordinary Seattlites. You'll read about Jan Walther, Lolita Nguyen, and Goat as they search for a way forward in an upside down, post-pandemic America. Each story begins with a song, which somehow, in some way, holds the key to the narrative's meaning. Scattered between these yarns are three experimental, long-form poems which lead the reader on a backpacking trip through the spirituality and psychology of the author himself. Dimitri is postmodern, fearless, provocative, and all over the place in the best way. When you read this book, you'll begin to see that life is a lot like a scrapbook: we remember only so much, we order it how we please, and all the facts are open to interpretation.
