PLEASURE ON THE RUN

 …from the FOREWORD by Author and Educator, Albert Wachtel, Ph.D.

“Personal Slave” is visionary fiction in the best sense—the protagonists fall prey to the illusion that the ultimate convenience will help them.  The last stunning visuals leave one wanting to see a TV series based on it.  “Fable of a Universe” ends surprisingly, but the surprise in retrospect strikes us as something we should have anticipated all along.  Our thwarted expectation rings true, the reader's ultimate satisfaction.  “Ready Now”, “Bloody Thighs” and “The Latest Deadlines” score even bigger hits with their uplifting portrayals of desperate people at the crossroads of life.  They're a delight to read more than once.  Perhaps the most significant, “Fine Love Garments” tears the heart with anguish and joy.  Find out why.  You will be a wiser and better person for the experience.

Statement From the Author of

Pleasure on the Run: Six Dreams of Doctor Ironicus

People have a general uneasiness when they consider the power of irony in their daily lives since it is ever-present, dependable, like the sun and death. Because it often implies the unexpected or something going awry, focusing on irony is not too desirable except as art. There seems to be a sinister ring in the word, like irony is something one gets in spite of avoiding it, or a thing someone sees to it that someone else gets, like punishment. But irony can signal just as many fortuitous turns, as in good luck or karma. However, a guilty conscience haunts almost everyone so people perceive irony as working against them and think about it as little as possible, thus it comes as a surprise. Irony is nothing more than a manifestation of the infinite and universal balance embedded in our existence. Acts of generosity, love, honesty, faith, all seem to bounce back to us somehow and often unexpectedly, like the not-so-good. The energy of everything that has ever been done or thought is captured in the universe. And, by extension, nothing seems to fall through the twisting cracks of ironic fortune. The concept and creation of PLEASURE ON THE RUN had this potent sense of mystical rightness, with each of the parts revealing more and more of the invisible natural balance inherent in the unexpected, thus the subtitle, "Six Dreams of Dr. Ironicus".                                                  ——  Rene Blanco
