GongwanadonGongwanadon cover rough draft

Mature Readers; $4.95 US; June 2004;
ISBN: 1-891867-70-9; DCD: APR04 2245

"Gongwanadon" pronounced: 'gon' as in don, 'gwan' as in don, 'a' as in uh, and 'don' as in don.

Thomas Herpich's sophomore book features grieving aliens, familiar pilgrims, dimwitted doppelgangers, platonic friends, and more, in quiet optimistic tales of imprisonment, spiritual possession, and torture. Herpich confronts as many vague paradoxes as he can get his hands on in this informal study of personal responsibility and its consequences.

...for the nimbly open minded, this premier shouldn't be missed.
