Description

The profits-over-people epidemic feels like economic torment for one young man. He is also dealing with emotional and physical ailments. And during his time of need, his wife has walked away from their commitment.

He can barely breathe without her. For they had a mystical encounter that far exceeded love at first sight. Within one unexpected look they passed through a thin-place … a space between this world and the eternal world … between the temporal and the spiritual.

Dylan’s feelings of seclusion are enhanced by the ruthless economic gristmill within society. His body and mind struggle to make sense of this battle the Billionaire Class is waging upon the Working Class.

Dylan is lost within this world order of social disorder. Lost without his wife. Lost to himself. Lost without love.

The strain on his weak constitution is lifted when he imagines beautiful moments with his wife. He will dream of her coming to him and reading poetry they have written. Also, he finds solace in documenting the struggles of his ancestors who were Welsh coalminers.

He is consumed with conflicting questions regarding malevolence and benevolence, brilliance and blackness, and “to be or not to be.”

Despite the political and economic violence, Dylan tries to seek out healing light while Looking East … For Love.

Tristan Thomas has created a thoughtful narrative using poetry and prose. It shows how many U.S. citizens consider the American Dream an American Delusion. In his debut novel, he points out that the issue is not Democrats vs. Republicans. The problem is that the politicians are beholden to wealthy donors and the demons of power and greed.

Tristan was inspired by the working class struggles within The Grapes of Wrath, the dystopia of 1984 and the political drama inside The Manchurian Candidate … and he has woven those elements into a mystical love story.
