This is an artist's novel that takes place in Big Sur, California, and forms a verbal collage of Surrealist texts, fiction, poetry, photographs, and journal writing. The novel is written as the visualization of a canvas that is like a Surrealist painting. The narrator of the novel, Daydream, is interested in self-hypnosis, metaphysics, and innovative fiction, and moves to Big Sur where he meditates on the porch of the guest house while looking out on the Pacific Ocean. He meets Sunshine, who plays the role of the ideal reader, because she likes to read novels, and appears as a character so that she can create the type of reality that will become the novel itself. Big Sur Marvels &amp; Wondrous Delights (2001) is written in the tradition of André Breton, Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, Jack Kerouac and Richard Brautigan, and is a metaphysical book of wisdom, a novel of spiritual self-discovery, past life regressions, a year of concert going, an innovative collage with journal writing, Dadaist poetry, an early computer generated short story, and Surrealist texts which are written in the American style of innovative Big Sur mysticism. 37 color photographs in large paperback format.
