The inverted pyramid

Bertrand W. Sinclair

Summary

In "The Inverted Pyramid," Bertrand W. Sinclair masterfully explores the complexities of human emotion and societal structures through an intricate narrative woven with rich symbolism. The novel employs a modernist literary style, marked by its innovative structure and deep psychological insights, reminiscent of the works of contemporaries like Virginia Woolf and James Joyce. Sinclair artfully deconstructs the traditional narrative arc, instead opting for an 'inverted' model that mirrors the chaotic nature of characters' lives, reflecting the disorientation of early 20th-century society as it grapples with the rapidly changing world around it. Bertrand W. Sinclair, a prominent figure in Canadian literature, draws on his diverse experiences as a journalist, novelist, and playwright. His firsthand observations of societal struggles and the human condition ignite the themes explored in this novel, marrying his understanding of the zeitgeist with a profound empathy for his characters. Sinclair's unique perspective, forged through personal and societal trials, imbues "The Inverted Pyramid" with a relatable authenticity, inviting readers to unpack their own emotional landscapes. This thought-provoking novel is not only a testament to Sinclair's literary prowess but also a compelling invitation for readers to introspect. For those intrigued by the intersections of narrative form and psychological depth, "The Inverted Pyramid" promises to challenge conventional storytelling while illuminating the intricate dance of life and identity.

Mosquitoes

William Faulkner

One of Faulkner’s most controversial novels!      A lesser-known but compelling novel from the author of Absalom, Absalom! and The Sound and the Fury.      Have you ever wondered what speaks to the tortured soul of an artist? What would it be like to be stuck on a yacht with only the musings of the world and a group of artists as your company?      In the heat of the late Louisiana summer, Faulkner brings us a story of artistry that examines the thoughts and actions of Southern bohemians who have nothing to interrupt them but the hum and fire of the mosquitoes that surround them. “Faulkner’s message is clear: We are the mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes are us.”—Rein Fartel, “Twentieth Century Millennial: Revisiting Faulkner’s Mosquitoes.”       With a foreword by Carl Rollyson, a renowned biographer of Faulkner and other eminent authors, this fine new edition works to highlight the “Louisiana Faulkner,” the Faulkner before fame, and his thoughts on the lives of Southern artists.
