First Person Tales

About the Book

This is a book of ten separate tales which contain smaller tales and are interconnected in the manner of Scheherazade's stories, but disclose the intimate relationship of humanity and nature. The tales are based on the first-person-singular involvement of the reader who is the potential teller after experiencing the events from the tales.

Some of the tales are definitely in the feminine, some are in the masculine, but most of them go deeper into the roots of our individuality where gender is only humanity.

The action is set in both the real and the absurd adventure of our minds: growing to know ourselves while cutting through our fears, memories, daydreams and role-play games, likes and dislikes, evaluations and senses. That is why the action of the tales is like a relaxed revisiting of a picturesque dreamy land; it is like dream weaving in a motion picture where the colors of a rolling scenery are combined with real smells, sounds and the unbound ability to move through space and time and understand the language of every natural object whether a rock or an alien or a tree.

The tales are told in an amorphous set of texts which is like the part of a single-person's mind life. This is the form of a proto-novel whose plot and subplots are not bound in a line of development but resemble a tree where each tale is like a golden apple, ready to fall into the hand of a willing reader after having sucked the juices of the mother-stem.

The texts are to be used in adaptations: retold in the first person singular by grown-ups to kids or vise versa; transformed into game settings, into film versions, into drawing books, or into simplified texts to be finished by learners.

About the Author

The author comes from a specific kind of people who live only when they are on the move. She was born in a time when an iron wall bounded the earth and there was no other way for people to learn about the universe but to try flying. She has been brought up regardless of the fashion of dividing the people into men and women but like an individual.

Geography is much more to her than East and West - it is The Space Outside Us and The Space Inside Us.

History is much more to her than a Past retold in different ways - it is a Future which might turn up round the corner of revolving spaces, loaded with everything we have chosen to store there.

She has no profession: she has been trained to become a doctor of philosophy but this is like nursery of growing minds.

She makes her living by teaching English and learning from learners how to read the special language of humanity, which is the fundament of witchcraft. There is no use of trying to count her years of age: she has always led a couple of lives at a time.

This is not the best book to be published by her, but it is the best one to be shared and used by other people in their own First Person Singular. There is a queue of novels awaiting their turn to be published: Green Blood tells about the plant-individual Trook E'Teeny who has survived the eco catastrophe; Chatting Time Away is about the dark red sides of humanity; Tales From the Town of Muel is about a race of creatures whose life span depends on their being able to complete their assignment. All of them are meant for mature young people and young-minded adults.
