In the alternate universe of Sesshu Foster's glitteringly surreal first novel, the Aztecs have conquered the European invaders, launching into the world its own culture of totemic powers and blood sacrifices. Zenzontli, the Keeper of the House of Darkness, has fits and visions of a world where things are run by the Europeans, and where consumerism reigns supreme. Aztecs armed with fully automatic weapons and ancient totemic powers conquer and colonize 1940s Europe in Cinemascope and Technicolor, as ghosts of the 20th century world wars emerge from the Farmer John Meat Packing Plant to haunt a contemporary Los Angeles.  Sesshu Foster is dangerous,"ese!" The way a poet should be." --Luis J. Rodriguez Sesshu Foster startles you, surprises you, even shocks you; his writing sparkles with new insights and images; at the same time, he engages you in the context of continuing history and you realize you're in what could be familiar territory: "Ah, yes--how it is!" --Lawson Fusao Inada  6 x 9 in.
