Raymond Chandler once wrote in a letter, "It doesn't matter a damn what a novel is about. The only fiction of any moment in any age is that which does magic with words."
Marek Waldorf does magic with words while he tells a story of recovery in an innovative and multilevel way. The recovery process process is aided in part by the author's relationship to the written word. Implied throughout this book is the novelist's (any novelist's)attempt to find voice for his protagonist.
Chad as a speechwriter writes material which may evoke Orwell's Politics and the English Language but his own speech is filled with a joie d'ecrit. It is unconventional, quirky, metaphoric and contains flashes of humor and unusual imagery.
It is my hope that a small number of influential reviewers will be sufficiently taken by The Short Fall -- its structure and its strangeness -- to write lengthy and thoughtful reviews and essays.
