With In Plain Sight, author Dan Kennard sets out to make his presence known to his fictional characters, to become as obvious as possible to his own creations, and to awaken them to the true nature of their existence as sentences on a page. The problem is, it proves far more difficult to break through to them than he ever imagined, causing him to go to greater and greater lengths to induce a revelation in them. In Foreplay, Kennard initiates contact with his own creations and finds them just as stubborn to resist him as he is to connect; in Pinholes life in a shoebox becomes a demonstration of power; in Playing with Myself, error codes become cosmic messages from the Creator of the Universe; and in Birdsong, a man finds his freedom in stunning, unlikely fashion as Kennard turns the screws on his life.Interspersed within these and other surrealist, darkly comic tales in this collection are the multi-faceted eye-witness accounts of Kennardo, a mysterious wayfaring hobo clown drifting through town and dispensing his own special brand of enlightenment to the people of Sunset City one encounter at a time.Part a collection of Zen-like fables, part meta-fiction, part dark comedy, for the many characters and voices that inhabit these stories, while the opportunities to learn the truth of their lives are all around them, it doesn't mean they have to take them.
