Journey to Virginland - A Voyage of a Lifetime
At turns heartbreaking and diabolically funny, Journey to Virginland is a tour de force,
delivered by a master storyteller.
The protagonist, a loutish and uber-cerebral antihero known simply as Dog, takes on the
challenge to navigate the perilous paradigm shifts of our age, determined to find his
proper place under the sun. Is he doomed to failure? Or will he pull it off by heeding his
own irreducible voice, given the ebb of the old certainties?
Dog pursues the answer unrelentingly, through an impassioned quest for identity and
meaning. He revisits his relationships with women, family, literature, and homeland, in the
process illuminating his journey with commentaries on history, religion, politics, and
culture that unravel our very fabric.
Marked by biting satire and tappings into lushest scholarship, Dog’s naked critique
touches on some of the most pressing issues facing humanity: the arrogance of empire
and organized religion; the persistence of bigotry, xenophobia, and social Darwinism; the
double standards of sexual politics; the bankrupt rationale behind patriotism and state
propaganda; and hypercapitalism and consumerism, among others.
An ocean of struggles and epiphanies takes Dog to a spiritual ground zero called
Virginland, where the story unfolds. It is also in Virginland that Dog unearths an ancient
calendar based on a cosmic worldview. His discovery reveals the mythological
underpinnings of the Zodiac, subverting the current conventional wisdom about the
subject.
What emerges from the protagonist’s odyssey is not only a cogent depiction of what
makes us tick, but, as day follows night, a dazzling new vista for social and spiritual
transformation.
With its vibrant style, thematic breadth, and, ultimately, unfettered sense of humanity,
Journey to Virginland establishes itself as a groundbreaking literary enterprise and a true
original.
