Riassunto

"CHRYSALIS" WEBSITE The back cover of "Chrysalis" says in essence: What is the meaning of time: Why is there meaning in space and time? What is one way to stop the "Middle East" wars in every space? A subplot is - does God exist in time? Something that modernism buried. This book is postmodernist symbolism, PMS. This website is PMS, Hip Hop space. Cal Beuerbach, CIA anti hero agent, takes us from - Before September 11, 2001 to him as head of The State Department, in 2050. Why read this book? Don't we all know about 9/11? Don't we all know about the invasion of Iraq? As part of the CIA, WOULD Cal turn on the President? What is an alternative to get the terrorists off our case? It's here. Our time, is the moon and the sun. Its meaningful - money producing - if you can get into something that is your passion, and generates money. That's pragmatism. Terrorism is class, not religion. Terrorists pervert their reading of their Holy Book. Among other things which says - don't commit suicide, the "main" terrorist tool. They are not Muslim terrorists, any more that the assault on Oklahoma City was done by a Christian terrorist. With the Noble Koran, Muslims worship with Jews contrary to the Palestinian and Israeli wars. These are some of the questions addressed. The US, generally, is a Christian Nation. Muslims worship with Jesus. Therefore, it is logically impossible for September 11, 2001 to happen. These are more issues addressed. Islamists are - not - fascists, contrary to National radio talk show hosts. The new lower classes of Arabs think the US is not moral. We are not. So if there is so much to talk about, why the terrorism? Why are we at war? Why were we in another Viet Nam? What is the way out, without loosing the war, as in Viet Nam? On whose advice? Answering those questions is the goal of "Chrysalis". It uses postmodernist, metafiction. It is didactic - protective - of USA tactics. The introduction of the book reads: Is there a God? This is the essence of the class war. The poor Arabs think we don't believe in God. So, in the end of the book, we get into a debate over the one Muslim Absolute - there is one God! In Chapter 1, it starts out at Christmas 2003: "To pitch the amber image - Jesus on the Cross - is to give it life, to say that the maroon game was meaningful." That is to say - reddish is Jesus on the Cross. At Christmas, we pitch the image, as if it were the world series. To be the catcher on the rye gives our US meaning. The perceptive reader will see it as a world game. It's a pitch. Like a salesman. It is neutral on the issue of - is Jesus a fake memoir, a novel. Not a treating of Jesus as the absolute truth. This is key in the novel - the Panarab conference to solve the problem of terrorism. Arabs - really - believing that Allah, the compassionate and merciful, is the one true God. We need treaties! We play ball. With the Muslims. This is a novel not a dissertation. But the title is a living metaphor, following Snow's teacher Paul Ricoeur, in The Rule of Metaphor. Ricoeur is so big he is like a Pascal. There are other comparisons. Still in the First Chapter: "The 20th century told the farmer that Jesus was not born in a manger. ... It's call modernism." Postmodernist signs say that there is an alternative proof for the existence of God - while still meditating in a cubist and atonal form. It is mystic. That is - Cal's - answer. And is one of the keys to the book. Find God, and you can talk to the 1 Billion Muslims, who would rather slit your throat, because our civilization, in modernism, told the Arabs that God did not exist. The God thing has to be resolved even with PMS. In Chapter 2 starts out, after the flash 2003 forward to Christmas, in 2000: "It's a pilgrimage of our Calvin. To find the Mod." Here we get into the plot of the novel. There is a name mentione
