Description
David Wilson is on the lam. If he can stay ahead of the law long enough to finish his great novel, he just might be able to convince his ex-wife he’s worth a damn. When a man who appears to be some sort of religious figure picks him up in a Ferrari 308, David begins to think he might have found a story worth telling. The man relates his life in a whirlwind of vivid experiences—from his childhood as a boxer turned peacenik, to time-traveling out of Woodstock, to the insane asylum where he cured himself by watching the television series, Kung Fu.
Wilson’s journey soon intersects with bizarre roadside attractions, the strange world of go-go dancers, pinball machines, illuminati conspiracies, and a cast of eccentric characters who are all equally seeking personal vindication and suffering from the effects of lost love. David just needs to hold himself together long enough to write it all down.
Absurd, darkly humorous and at times romantic, In the Next Moment Everything Will Change weaves a tale that is both surreal and deeply human, inviting readers to grapple with their own perceptions of reality and embrace the future that already exists, fully formed inside of them.
Advance Praise
From Kirkus Reviews:
"...mentions of conspiracies involving the MKUltra program and the death of Bruce Lee, lend the story a larger-than-life atmosphere. The author shows a great deal of humor in his outlandish characters but never undercuts them with his jokes... as strange as its premise is, the novel offers surprising insights into loss and unfulfilled expectations. (Verdict: Get It)
D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review:
"...a delightful satirical romp through life and alternatives that will lead libraries to highly recommend it both to fiction readers looking for something different and book clubs, which will find In the Next Moment Everything Will Change’s lively countenance and humor drives home deeper topics of philosophical and psychological life inspection which are perfect for group discussion."
From Amazon Reviews:
"... it feels rare to find a story as clever as it is touching - so often it feels like heart is traded for wit, or vice versa - but in this novel the two walked hand in hand..."
"The plot diverges down tangents that weave history and philosophy into reflective comic stories that make one think while still making one laugh out loud in the coffee shop while everyone looks to see what you are reading."
"Caulfield's storytelling is unique and captivating."
