The Shaman Boy is the transformational story of a boy living in
what some would categorize as a dystopia. This novel unsettles
conventions of time and defies traditional categorization of
alternate worlds. It is an intricately woven tapestry of dense
description in both poetic form and prose. Coarse language
contradicts the poetic strains reminding the audience that the
world is often an eclectically beautiful contradiction. Exotic
language is fused in the text to allow the reader to escape into a
linguistic journey across distant and foreign lands. Unlike a
traditional hero's journey, the protagonist Drum does not
physically travel to these new and unfamiliar places. As his
physical and psychological character shifts, the space that
surrounds him mirrors his change. The peppering of triumph and
challenge draws an intimate parallel to the universalities of life.
While at the same time the fusion of the magical and spiritual
realms demonstrates the possibilities when approaching the world
with an open mind. Each unexpected experience in this fiction begs
the comparison to our contemporary social ideals and calls the
reader to question their own life philosophies. This is a story of
love and loss that will be sure to leave your jaw dropping all
along the way.
