An irreverent plunge into the world of 1970's faux revolution and lifestyle. Described as Kerouacian' and Big Lebowski like but the author states that's unintentional. Not for the true believer.Todd Boyd's Marat, Untrue Loves is part-Kerouacian, part-Hemingway, but all Boyd. Marat is a journey through life, love and politics told in insightful, and often poetic, vignettes. Boyd does a good job of giving us a revolution through the thoughts and eyes of the philosophical Marat. If you're looking for sex, drugs and rock 'n roll, you're looking in all the wrong places. Marat is more sex, ideas, and incredibly complex relationships. Boyd seems to write from his soul, with his words flowing from pen to page, and some might find this particular style a little distracting. At times, it can be. But I believe Boyd's style is unique and makes this work of fiction even stronger because of it. I recommend adding Marat, Untrue Loves to your reading list. MV Lucas, Literary Arts Professional, Poet, and ActorGet ready for some romance, some religious allusions, and a little bit of history in this extremely unique work of fiction. The characters are the best part, especially Marat. It's difficult for authors not to stereotype characters from the 1970's as being flower-power, bell-bottom wearing, long haired, picketing, pot-smokers, but Boyd does a good job with avoiding the annoying clichés.
