Mimi's Welcome to Cormac by Richard Average (3 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

'Mimi's Welcome to Cormac' is a rare breed of Historical Fiction, told by an aloof narrator much given to understatement, humorously and ruthlessly depicting a couple who meet during the harsh Era of immigrants to America at the last of the 19th Century. 48 pages with illustrations in charcoal and pencil accompanying the text. According to one of playwright Sean O'Casey's characters: "to the Irish people a serious ting is a joke... and a joke is a serious ting"! Whether or not this is true of any race of people or any person, it at least reminds us of the all-importance of humor in our lives. That being said, I would like to introduce "Mimi's Welcome to Cormac", a farcical, at times hilarious romp from the wilds of Kerry to the wilds of the American west, at the end of the 19th Century. But let the reader beware! This short work is not for the sentimentalist, or the pedant. It is a mash-up of historical fact, legend and gallows' humor. It may be classified as Menippean satire. the Author

Imagine if you can move (sliip) into another substance (human, animal or object) and become them - and you discover you are part of a group, genetically engineered by a ruthless, beautiful woman, to be used by MI5/6 against dissidents and terrorists. Part coming-of-age novel, part love story, part spy thriller, Sliip confronts both the comedy and the awfulness of being able to delve into another's thoughts. Brendan grows up a normal boy, the child of eccentric, academic parents, but at puberty, he begins to realize that he is different. Somehow, he can know what other people are thinking. A gift like this brings great power and, although he learns to hide it, someone somewhere knows all about him; someone who moves in high places. University should be about love and learning; instead Brendan finds himself recruited by those who wish to use his talents to prevent terrorism and influence governments. But minds like his distort the balance of mutual trust and soon he is on the run and desperately seeking his lost love, Ursula, in a world where former certainties have disappeared. Humour, fun, sex, romance, love, attempted murder, accidental murder, exploitation, a bit of New York and a sniper on a beach; the story confronts the big question of mind we all ask: How do we know what other people are thinking?
