Christian Stannow's "little" American novel with the author's
unique view of the United States some forty years ago as well as
history about early settlers in the northeast. Many memorable
characters in this remarkable novel with focus on a small town in
New York state, Key West, Austin in Texas, New Orleans and Santa
Catalina and capitalism. A novel with much humor and the struggles
of everyday people. There are links to timeless and universal Greek
mythology and the human condition.
HJK hauls his camera around the world. He is a TV filmmaker and
struggles to realize the basically unattainable dream of creating a
really unique TV program, the definitive work of art. This time he
has designs on comparing Odysseus, Robinson Crusoe and the Indian
chief Cochise ... but on the boat to Ithaca he meets two
adventurous and mystical American women and, after that, it becomes
more difficult to follow the original recording plan. Through time
and space the hero pursues his subjects, through folk-tale, myth
and absolutely normal everyday reality. There are stops in Texas
and the Virgin Islands; he meets Circe in Los Angeles to retrieve a
lost roll of film. In the background of these exotic adventures is
the Danish silent film epoch of the 20's. The stories take place
around us, ancient, ever new. The Odyssey is always alive for many
of us - the journey, the sea, the return.
