New novel offers encyclopedic romp through time, space and reality
TALLEVAST, Fla. (MMD Newswire) May 20, 2009 -- Coyote Redux by Yulalona Lopez and Violet Reason is a mythopoetic adventure that explores modern cultural mores, including lost nuclear warheads and Wall Street greed, which are all filtered through the traditional character of the rapscallion Coyote.
In Coyote Redux, Lopez and Reason question what it means to be modern by reintroducing the character of Coyote, known for sticking his nose into everything. Here, Coyote explores the radical discontinuity between the past and the present, between the beauties of nature and the challenges of the machine age. As Coyote remembers his many different lifetimes, he offers astute commentary on everything from art, science, literature and business.
The authors use Coyote as a teacher for improper behavior and as a symbol of what happens when a culture does not grow, change and mature, shielding itself from the basics of life, sex and death. The world surrounds people with invisible, powerful and conscious beings in natural forms, says Lopez, and she designed the stories in Coyote Redux to offer insight into those beings.
