Publisher's Summary:
Has something gone amiss at the home of the Clam sisters?
In the early years of the 20th century, one sister purchases a rare blue spong from a songbird dealer without realizing its strange provenance. Soon, the aristocratic sisters and their staff find themselves exposed to a flying koan, provoking them to cast off their commonplace mores, their staid lives, for something altogether bold and ribald: criminal activities, same-sex affairs, even political agitation!
De la Croix's The Blue Spong and the Flight from Mediocrity is a humorous novel that showcases the follies of heteronormative, misogynistic, repressive life.
Members Reviews:
This book is itself a break from mediocrity
Being familiar with previous writings of the author, I was looking forward to this new novel; and I must say that I'm not disappointed.
As might be expected from the book title, St Sukie's writing style is anything but mediocre. To describe it as imaginative would be a grave disservice. A fantastical melange of the bizarre, the exotic, and the taboo is more like it. Some might even describe it as weird or insane, but I suspect he might perceive such terms as compliments.
If so inclined, one could easily find something to be offended by--be it an irreverent stance towards religion, bawdy language, or ribald descriptions of sexual encounters. Yet in relatively short order, the characters (including minor ones) are sufficiently developed and the evolving story line so titillating that I felt compelled to read the book in one sitting to see how the loose ends were tied up. They were but, perhaps not unsurprisingly, not necessarily in neat and tidy ways that more traditional storytellers might choose.
To be sure, this book wouldn't appeal to everyone. Those who thrive on linear, logical, analytical mental processing wouldn't "get" this book. However, those willing to transgress the mundane; and to entertain alternative realities and perspectives would likely enjoy it.
Well the Clam sisters found a way out if mediocrity when one of them buys the Blue Spong at her favorite pet store
Are you mediocre? How does one exit a mediocre life? Well the Clam sisters found a way out if mediocrity when one of them buys the Blue Spong at her favorite pet store. And then the fun begins with the reading of this book by St, Sukie de la Croix. Strange episodes take place and people begin to change whenever the Blue Spong stretches its blue lights outward. The characters are bizarre and fun; the plot is developed in a fantasy type world which changes one's perception of fantasy. This reader who has dealt with literature all of his life can say nothing but positive things about this work, It is fascinating to follow the line of thought the author puts into crafting this work. It is well written, something expected but not always found incurrent works. Sukie is to be congratulated in the development he has put into this. If one wants to lose themselves in a time away from mediocrity, this is the book to read.
