The Graffitied Brain

By Franc Masino

"This is a psychological work written subconciously and spontaneously and without any preconceived plan.Although written in 2010, itis nonetheless a satirical reaction to late 20th century malaise. A very fragmented portrait of an author meditates at its centre. His central theme is freedom and escape.It is a ghost train of a journey and we are invited to take our seats for better or for worse."

TO MY WIFE,

WHEREVER HER HEART MAY SING.

In this daringly original work, the author has assembled an unlikely collage of human existence. Expressions of joy, despair and humour pour out of him and in their wake life’s enigmatic signature remains.

Writing oneself out into affirmation.

Can’t we now talk of an inundation of experiences—a true drowning?

A sudden breakout of mini-thoughts.

What-if scenarios : consequences of over-exaggeration.

His day was not an altogether failure: he managed to buy Dostoievsky’s The Idiot.

He followed him all around town until his destination and even there, in the foyer, his expression remained totally indifferent.

Each year he receives a Christmas card from the person whose life he saved.

They go racing-car driving in the South of England—their idea of a relaxing holiday.
