Does the Moon Ever Shine in Heaven? by Chuck Richardson
$16.00
Experiencing the heart and mind of a suicided murderer, Does the Moon Ever Shine in Heaven? gives voice to a killer’s disturbing passage through the Bardo Plane . According to the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the Bardo is the existential phase between death and re-birth where the soul confronts itself, trying to stave off its karmic pressure by confronting the active contents of its mind. Here, the narrator must go beyond the rage that would destroy him and everything else it can.
Experiencing the heart and mind of a suicided murderer, Does the Moon Ever Shine in Heaven? gives voice to a killer’s disturbing passage through the Bardo Plane . According to the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the Bardo is the existential phase between death and re-birth where the soul confronts itself, trying to stave off its karmic pressure by confronting the active contents of its mind. Here, the narrator must go beyond the rage that would destroy him and everything else it can. The narrative voice must annihilate itself to make irrelevant that American way of life it once perceived as a legitimate provocation to violence. The narrator’s rage, at one point taking the form of Ayn Rand, chomps away at itself with the same ferocity as the bullets he fired. The perceived universe—a syzygy with the voices of Al Pacino as animus and Diane Sawyer as anima—sounds hugely compassionate, allowing for a kind of redemption beyond morality, where language itself carries the soul into the beauty and love it’s always wanted…Really.
