The World of Should (Paperback)

Nathan is a literary legend revered for his masterly English style. However, his creativity and talent have suddenly disappeared. Desperate and losing control he befriends a bright young writer to ghostwrite a new novel for him. Tomas reluctantly agrees; Just write about your life, says Nathan. A story about betrayal, love and freedom unfolds. Tomas writes his experiences into the novel, blurring the line between his life and the story. A colourful cast of real and imagined characters evolves to influence him; and his love for Nathan's niece, Sonya. Tomas comes to realise that he lives in a self-delusional reality - the World of Should. We are all actors creating our own absurd plays, believing in our own costumes and most dangerously, believing in our fellow actors. Tomas determines that the best way to emerge from the World of Should is to become humanity's purest incarnation. An Overman. Throwing aside morality and expectations, Tomas acts for the sake of acting... for sheer existence.
