LISTED AS THE NUMBER ONE BOOK OF 2018--AMY'S BOOKSHELF REVIEWS

"The term 'page turner' was coined for this book"--LITERARY TITAN

"...a roller-coaster that keeps you on the edge of your seat ... an extraordinary reading experience ... bound to keep you glued to your seat till the very end."--ONLINE BOOK CLUB

"...the creative genius of Landon is delivered at full throttle ... I loved this book ... a wholly unique concept ... Highly recommended!"--READERS' FAVORITE

"...a thriller novel unlike any other..."."--URBAN BOOK REVIEWS

"...one of those 'oh my gosh!' books ... totally outlandish ... genius..."-- READERS' FAVORITE

"...monumental ... Perils of Pauline on steroids ... masterful, stylistic and complex ... uniquely entertaining and truly worth experiencing.--AUTHORSREADING

"...flabbergasted ... by the magnitude (bigger than Our Bodies, Ourselves) ... the multi-media Gesamtkunstwerk ambitions ... the Joycean wordplay ... exuberant code-switching, diction-mixing, blending of disparate linguistic ingredients into previously unknown harmonies and cacophonies. Like Finnegans Wake or The Anatomy of Melancholy ... I look forward to dipping into it for years to come"--CHRISTOPHER MILLER, AUTHOR

"...an experience not to be missed!"--GOLFWELL

"...not for the faint of heart."--READERS' FAVORITE

"...impossible to put down..."--RED HEADED BOOKREADER

Suffused with scathing satire from cover to cover, this award-winning "chamber novel" is a deeply unsettling, intellectually probing, neurotically supercharged, musico-graphically enriched psychological suspense thriller about the artfully revengineered conspiratorial undoing of a complacent, over-coddled, trust-funded teenage entitlement princess who is possessed of an eminently questionable code of ethics and morals. The book's anti-heroine is a beautiful young heiress, socialite, and sugar-daddy-seeking subdebutantilizer called Melody whose inheritance comprises an immense fortune amassed through shareholder investments in the world's largest employment recruiter: the multi-national temp agency behemoth known as the Pleasant Peasant Corporation. Insidiously sly on the uptake, Melody is quick to abuse her position of power for the purpose of tipping the inequitable scales of the socioeconomic system to her pecuniary advantage not only at the calamitous expense of those who are thousandfolds less privileged than she is but also to the grave detriment of rich and powerful sugar daddies who are, despite their social standings, vulnerable to the sexual machinations she sets in motion by dint of her coquettish charms with an eye to beguiling them out of their monetary assets in conjunction with prickteasing them into granting her unmerited favors to advance her career. She is under the smug delusion that she is achieving her aims by exploiting what she perceives to be their Achilles' heels--i.e., their psycho-emotional impotence to resist her come-hither cajoleries. It is the age-old story of the filthy rich topfeeding from the pockets of the poor as well as that of a bewitching young seductress manipulating powerful men to achieve her nefarious ends. In the course of a 36-hour timespan our star-crossed heroine learns some rude lessons about life once the tables are turned in her disfavor, whence she experiences sharp vicissitudes of fortune and finds herself in the position of being bountifully force-fed outsized mouthfuls of a Reality Sandwich fixed in her honor by her exploitees and their vigilous cohorts.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The author has skillfully crafted a tale of sour love, questionable characters, jealousy and revenge. The story is told vividly and imaginatively. It is a thrilling literary ride through the protagonist's experiences as a princess whose castle is falling apart by the brick. On one hand, you feel bad for her but on the other you would rather not bother. This quality leaves the reader so gloriously torn between the characters of the book. Not to mention glued to the pages as the story unfolds.... The reader will find themselves quite easily drawn into the story. The unusual tone and a touch of simplicity for the complex plot are welcoming and appealing. They beg the reader to read just one more page. To find out what happens next and then next. The term- page turner- was coined for this book."--Literary Titan

About the Author

Gary Lloyd Noland (AKA Dolly Gray Landon & Lon Gaylord Dylan) grew up in a crowded house shared by ten people on a plot of land three blocks south of UC Berkeley known as People's Park, which has distinguished itself as a site of civic unrest since the late 1960s. As an adolescent, Gary lived for a time in Salzburg and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where he absorbed many musical influences. Having studied with a long roster of acclaimed composers and musicians, he earned his Bachelor's in music from UC Berkeley in 1979, continued studies at the Boston Conservatory, and transferred to Harvard University, where he added to his credits a Masters and a PhD in Music Composition in 1989. Gary's catalogue consists of hundreds of works, which include piano, vocal, chamber, experimental, and electronic pieces; full-length plays in verse, chamber novels, and other text pieces; as well as graphically notated scores. His 39 Variations on an Original Theme in F Major for solo piano (Op. 98) is, at two hours duration (give or take), one of the most challenging (not to say voluminous) sets of piano variations in the history of the genre. His compositions have been performed and broadcast (including on NPR) in many locations throughout the United States, as well as in Europe, Asia, and Australia. He founded the Seventh Species concert series in San Francisco in 1990 and has, since, produced multiple concerts of contemporary classical music on the West Coast. Gary is also a founding member of Cascadia Composers, one of the premier composer collectives on the West Coast. Gary has taught music at Harvard and the University of Oregon. His musical scores are available from J.W. Pepper, RGM, Sheet Music Plus, and Freeland Publications. Six CDs of his compositions are available on the North Pacific Music label at: www.northpacificmusic.com. He has over 300 videos of his music and narratives available for listening on YouTube at: https: //www.youtube.com/channel/UCJt_eNyJqOZBErG9McQ51nA and https: //www.youtube.com/user/Geltschmerz and on Vimeo at: https: //vimeo.com/user25315384. Other miscellaneous videos of his music can be found in various corners of the Internet.
