Revolution by
David Dorrough is a resonant novel with nuanced themes and fascinating
characters, set against the backdrop of twenty-first century Los Angeles,
California, a thought-provoking novel that is sprinkled with reflections about
life and the challenges that middle-aged Americans face. The
existential themes are brilliantly developed and the author has readers
thinking about the doldrums of everyday life and what it takes to revolutionize
one’s existence. Readers are thrust into the social lives of well-crafted
characters in Southern California as they strive to lift the quality of their
lives in a modern world. Bill and Yvonne Smede want the world to see their
marriage as perfect until Yvonne becomes alienated by Bill’s frivolousness;
Gary and Scott are out looking for great people and a good time, and Irene
Hoffman is a woman who feels stressed with work and who revels in simple
pleasures like coffee and cigarettes yet one with big dreams. Such are
characters that appear in this spellbinding tale.
David Dorrough’s Revolution is
a novel that is rich in the seasons of life it evokes and in its social commentaries.
The characters are fully drawn as well as the fascinating setting in Southern
California, and readers will enjoy the blustery ride alongside characters who
are in turn, hilarious and deeply flawed, characters that are written into
situations and contexts that are familiar to readers. The writing is gorgeous
and punctuated by sparkling dialogues; the detailed descriptions offer strong
imagery and plunge readers into the exciting inner worlds of these characters.
The book is inventive and hugely imaginative while offering a realistic
perspective on life with characters that deal with situations readers are
confronted with every day. The author’s ingenious attempt to answer some of the
pressing questions middle-aged Americans face blends with compelling
reflections on social issues to make this book deserving of a wide
readership.
