Deka Parsec (Classic Reprint): Shell-Shocked Views of Life: Shell-Shocked Views of Life (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Two minds, one reality: a shell-shocked man along a mountain path discovers how perception shapes life. In this thought‑provoking fiction, a narrator and a companion with a shattered view of the world explore memory, meaning, and the power of attitude after war. Their conversations drift from nature to philosophy as they test how a single blast can rewrite what “real” means.
This edition gathers intimate, lyrical scenes that question truth, morality, and the human need for beauty. Through reflective dialogue and vivid imagery, it explores how trauma reshapes identity and how one person’s inner landscape can redefine everyone else’s.
- Characters grapple with altered senses and shifting realities after traumatic experiences.
- Concise, reflective prose that blends travel, nature, and philosophy.
- Scenes that examine love, work, religion, and politics from a personal, uncluttered lens.
- A meditation on how perception creates a world, sometimes more real than the surface world.
Ideal for readers who enjoy literary fiction that champions quiet insight over loud drama and seeks to understand how memory and mood shape our lives.

Excerpt from Deka Parsec: Shell-Shocked Views of Life
I jumped to my feet and looked behind the manzanita bush. There sat a large handsome man. He smiled at my surprised gesture, and then repeated: You win the tomatoes.

Excerpt from Deka Parsec: Shell-Shocked Views of Life
"You win the tomatoes," said a voice very near me.
I jumped to my feet and looked behind the manzanita bush. There sat a large handsome man. He smiled at my surprised gesture, and then repeated: "You win the tomatoes."
"Good morning," I stammered, "but I don't exactly see -"
"I registered a bet," he explained, "that I was the only person on the mountain so early in the morning."
"Oh, I understand. It is early for city people to be on the trail. Were you going to the top of San Gabriel?"
"Well, no," he said hesitantly, as though he might be persuaded to change his plans. "I am going to Barley Flats, but its all a whim, as you might say. I am studying the habits of nocturnal animals and insects. I like the mountain mists." He grasped the manzanita and shook a shower of dew upon the ground. Look at that spider web.
