Arafat Mountain Mike Kleine 9781941918036 Books

Mike Kleine has written the spiritual book for our age.

This is not an age of materialism, of the reductive world. It is, but it isn't. We believe it is, but it isn't.

This is a book that chronicles the thin areas of the world. The thin areas are everywhere, where our world doubles back onto itself and leaks the future and time and god and sacrifice and death into your corner office: yes, that is the morbid juices of the human spirit you feel washing over your patent leather shoes, yes that is the crushing of galaxies colliding in the sky above your New Orleans Air BnB. The flash in your ceiling is nothing but the death of thousands.

If Mastodon Farm was a treatise on the physical everywhereness of everyone, of the collapsed and condensed mundanity of the world as filtered through the lives of the famous, as observed, then Arafat Mountain is that on a cosmic level: the everywherenss of every soul, of the collapsed and condensed eternity recurring of the world and that big old question of death as filtered through the life of the universe, of Arafat Mountain, the far-off land within your soul where scale dies.

This is the story of our time, a time loosened from the public anchor of religion and set adrift, combing notes from the static shriek.

Arafat Mountain Mike Kleine 9781941918036 Books Reviews

Like his previous book, Mastodon Farm, Kleine delivers a book which is not heavy on a plot, but always entertains. Each sentence is interesting and never gets boring or old
In another universe I wrote a lengthier review, one that gave more insight into what this was about, but here I did not.

What you need to know up front is that this novel is amazing. I suppose you could say it is about heaven and hell, life and death, and it's all happening in one universe or another. There's a huge mountain in the distance, or is it a black hole? Arafat mountain doesn't always look the same, then again nothing is exactly the same anywhere. The sky is different, the ocean is different, time is different, the words that flash in the sky are different, all relative to where and when.

Picture all the horrors and deaths you've ever read about, and then picture all the crazy universes and landscapes they come from. Add in volcanos, meteors, home invasions, suicides, motor vehicles and accidents, and then pull that lever and see what happens. Maybe something terrible, maybe something weird, depends on the universe. Is the world ending? Does it matter?

Arafat Mountain is a looping web of mayhem and shifts in time and space, with something confusing and insane and new constantly happening, but it's always good. Don't ask what it's about, don't try and make sense of it all. Just. F***ing. Read. This. Book.
