Collage: an assemblage of diverse elements in unexpected juxtaposition. Passing through Paradise is a collage of narrative elements, some forming linear narratives, others embellishing these narratives with odd images and facts. Characters appear and vanish. Plots take shape and develop. Settings adjust sporadically. Themes emerge. Mysterious satyr-like character pops up in Colorado and walks to Chicago, gathering an entourage along the way, to put on Sophocles' satyr play, Ichneutae. Naive author of newspaper articles falls into ill-starred infatuation. Derelict Jazz-age theater, subject of intense political wrangling, is razed to make space for characterless condominiums. Elements from these and other narrative fountains splash onto the pages to create a playful literary kaleidoscope. A feast of narrative morsels; some create delicious entres, others garnish with unusual dainties and treats. - Worthy Banguet Jr. A carnival of feast and frolic. - Merry Libertines International Hundred of exotic ingredients in this recipe, mixed and stirred in surprising ways. - Epicurean Toyland Ltd.
