The Mythical

Autor Nathan Oravec
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 iun 2019
The Mythical is the story of a family living on a farm in Kentucky's rural horse country - peacekeeping patriarch Marshall; his photographer son, Lucas; a surly, spitfire of a grandma named Eve; and their steadfast hound Wayne Newton - spurred into action by a higher power to defend a creation perhaps more mysterious than any other between the bright sky and the deep blue sea. It is equal parts family drama and fantasy with the frenzy of a thriller and a bit of romance. Photographer Lucas Toll had always asked very little of life, making the grievous loss he suffered at the hands of his home seem all the more tragic - causing his leave of that place to appear more denial than self-discovery and rendering his return a trial. Now, here in Kentucky horse country - a world of glorious contradiction, of awe-inspiring nature and the industry that harnesses its might; of deep bloodlines and shallow waters; of green money and bluegrass - a discovery will be made. Here, Lucas and his family will encounter a mystery long hidden from mortal eyes. A force of man. A force of nature. Of love. Of hate. Of humanity. A mystery that should have remained a myth.

Notă biografică

Nathan Oravec never thought he'd start writing a novel, and 13 years after penning the first words of The Mythical, was honestly beginning to wonder if he'd ever finish one. An aspiring screenwriter, he had studied film production at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, which in no obvious way prepared him for an accidental career in journalism. As the entertainment editor for The Gazette, a division of the Washington Post and Companies, he honed his natural storytelling skills. During that time, Nathan interviewed such luminaries as Tim Conway, Shirley MacLaine, and Jeffs Bridges and Daniels, among countless others. He swears Eartha Kit once sang "Happy Birthday" to him, and Connie Sellecca's husband, John Tesh, once left him an effusive voicemail which he later, inadvertently - and to his everlasting regret - deleted. While writing this first novel, Nathan became a husband, a father, and a white-knuckled casualty of the failing newspaper industry - and, ultimately, an author. He lives with his wife, three growing children, and assorted animals in Frederick, Maryland.
