The creator of The Birdcatcher, a Vietnam war novel that was far ahead of its time at the time of its publication, has done it again. This extraordinary, impressive writer has now created The Dark Diceman – an experimental novel that blends elements of science fiction with nitty-gritty realism.
Throughout this brilliant, revolutionary, panoramic visionary writing, Mr. Schenck’s newest novel explores the mundane life of salespeople in a schlock furniture store intertwined with the urbane drug scene, and the all-too-big-to-fail mortgage market—along with explicit sexual fantasies and the libertine cult of a megachurch. Space aliens, sex-orgies, drug-dealers, sex-bondage, a corrupt mortgage company, fantasies, soul-saving redemption, FBI intrigue, and religiously perverse practices with inspiring doctrines set amidst the times of total annihilation of the human race intertwine to form the nucleus of The Dark Diceman. Elements that only a bold, forward thinker like Mr. Schenck can achieved in a truly accessible manner.
Underneath the multihued dimensions of this novel, is a story about the intersection of unleashed power with precision drawn characters engaged in the hot pursuits of surviving because survival is the ultimate goal of all beings. The power of sex, capitalism, or drugs crisscross to one of the most extraordinary finals ever presented in literature. This novel is a genuine achievement of pure delight. The final joke is that, ultimately, the people in the book are acting out their parts in a narrative scripted by Powers that they don’t even imagine exist. There’s never been anything quite like it.
