When I first conceived of Blind Pilgrim (now
published as Lucky Every Day), it was
but one small part of a larger statement.
The second part, Night Vision,
continues and amplifies the story of Lucky's
evolution through her son Sean. Night
Vision is set thirty years in the future
in a world almost, but not quite,
apocalyptic. It tells the story of Lucky's
son, Sean, who must navigate through a
repressive government (whose Orwellian
control is maintained by constant computer
surveillance). Sean, who at first is
skeptical of his mother's curious Eastern
ways, must eventually confront the questions
on a societal scale that his mother asked on
a personal level: What have we done? Why are
we here? and, ultimately, Who am I? Like
Lucky Every Day, Night Vision is
populated with interesting characters,
creates a strong sense of place, and a
unfolds a gripping, twisting plot that will
keep the reader turning pages, even as
weightier questions about life and society
are raised. |
