The Botherhopping

"...Filled with riotous conversations and ingenious one-liners, Mason does a dazzling job of entertaining through finely tuned dialogue..." First in a wildly original series, The Botherhopping by Lou Mason is absurdist fiction at its finest. More than mere amusement, Mason's fantastically orchestrated and perfectly timed literary leanings are rich, robust, and finely tuned-and her big picture humanist philosophies offer a breath of fresh air. With a penchant for the eccentric, the author uses primary source benchmarks to weave this first tale of the Botherhopping. There are frenetic moments and endearing ones; here there's irreverence, wisdom, and wild abandon. Here's life, past, present-passed on in a new way. Readers are in for a rollicking, frolicking epic adventure through time, space, and the infinitely absurd continuum of what life would be like if we all got to know the likes of Sir Isaac Newton, Oscar Wilde, and Paul Gauguin firsthand. With wanderlust and an unforgettable group of botherhopping "insiders," Mason proves to be an emerging novelist worth watching.
