Finale
(July 27, 2009)
When Jonathan Thomas receives a threatening letter
apparently sent by an ex-girlfriend, he pursues the sender but finds
himself unraveling another mystery he would have better left unsolved.
Finale tells the story of this wanderer's journey to a faultline
deep within himself. The chapters descend from eight to zero as Jonathan
travels from his most recent lover to first, finally reaching zero when he
leaps into the fissure that divides him. Between lovers, internal
"earthquake" chapters rise in magnitude from 1.0 to 8.0.
The lovers include: Mary Whitcomb, a Zelda Fitzgerald double now selling
endangered turtle eggs; Azal, who forces Jonathan to visit her father's
grave wearing the dead man's clothes; Kerrie, ex-speedfreak and comic book
junky; Marnie, a future soccer mom whose seductive and very white mother
has deemed herself an honorary African; Chartrise, a psychic waiting with
bad tidings; Caitlin, on the way to nunhood; and Holly, who invites
Jonathan and the other lovers to his "funeral." Will the funeral startle
Jonathan out of self-deception, or lead to knowledge he never should have
gained?
