– Curtis Eggleston

 

To know each other intimately is to know God. A prodigy’s suicide brings hyper-visible and ultra-talented netizens together under mysterious auspices, the leading lights of the future earthly ordained to meet and usher in a brave new era. A woman is preyed on by a druggist, awaiting her grandmother’s demise to collect her inheritance. A physically deformed miracle of birth meteorically rises to superstar status. 

Curtis Eggleston’s apotheosis is populated with unlikely prophets, demigods, archons, personifications of ruthless nature with enigmatic designs. With language that breathes and bends light, it’s hunting season for the spirit. Spanning lifetimes and continents with a worldly bravado, preoccupied with synchronicity, numerology, the ways virtuality alienates and connects and shatters us into our destinies, Opaquely A is a true epic novel in a classic sense written in a style that is entirely undiscovered yet charged with an ancient tenor. 

Opaquely A says begin, daily user. It innovates at the edge of utterance, vibrates at a visceral frequency. Curtis Eggleston is a lightning rod for the noumenon. The challenge for stories to be expressed with maximum sensation bodies you in that Opaquely A acts on the body. It’s the essence of warmth for a cold generation that runs hot. It is a warning without judgment for a humanity too far gone to be bothered by beauty. It shines generating dimensions. It single-handedly keeps literary fiction relevant for at least a decade, leaping ahead with the momentum of a patient monastic who knows the battle is already won. Every page is suffused with mana, each one may be framed in gold. No one who reads Opaquely A will ever read or write the same again.
