HAVE YOU EVER READ A STARVING BOOK?

Not starving from lack of talent.

No, starving from lack of readership. Sad really. No, I am not talking about my lost puppies of books.

I am talking THE SOUND OF BUILDING COFFINS by Louis Maistros.

Never heard of him? Peter Straub has. Listen to what he says of the book :

"Louis Maistros has written a lyrical, complex, and brave novel that takes enormous risks and pulls them all off. He is a writer to watch and keep reading, a writer to cherish."

Listen to the Library Journal :

"One has to write with considerable authenticity to pull off a story steeped in magic and swamp water that examines race and class, death and rebirth, Haitian voodoo, and the beginnings of jazz in 1891 New Orleans.

Maistros's gritty debut novel follows the interconnected lives of the Morningstar siblings--all lovingly named by their father after disease-- as they wrestle with a powerful demon, con outsiders, kill and die, die and are reborn."

Or to what Donald Harrington, Winner of the Robert Penn Warren Award and the Oxford-American Lifetime Achievement Award, wrote :

"Louis Maistros ... his debut novel is a thing of wonder, unlike anything in our literature. It startles. It stuns. It stupefies. No novel since Confederacy of Dunces has done such justice to New Orleans.

If Franz Kafka had been able to write like Peter Straub, this might have been the result."

Like with Jessica Bell's poetry and prose, this is not for the faint of heart but for those who are drawn to evocative, lyrical journeys into what makes us worth the breath we take.
