"A suicidal former platoon sergeant, sole survivor of a Vietnam War jungle ambush, is haunted by what he perceives as his cowardly past. Debilitated by guilt and mourning the death of his wife, small town newspaper publisher Stan Przewalski lives in a PTSD-fueled world where it is impossible to distinguish reality from fantasy. Returning from a Vietnam sightseeing tour, his suppressed memories resurface with a vengeance as he deals with a murder and a raging wildfire that threatens to destroy his hometown of Bull River Falls, Colorado. The overly medicated vet meets a magical creature who wears paratrooper boots and rock band tee shirts and commands a subterranean army that believes Stan is the answer to their fight against unscrupulous real estate developers. While they sabotage cell phone towers and government buildings, these supernatural friends provide an unlikely path to Stan's redemption. What could possibly go wrong?"--Page 4 of cover.… (més)

I enjoyed reading this book. I look forward to more from this author

Any attempted plot summary would damage the author’s vision through reduction. Expect layers—part mystery, part dark comedy, delivered in unique voice by an author who understands the rhythm and beauty of prose. The comedy reminded me of a quote by the philosopher Theodor Adorno: “There is laughter because there is nothing to laugh at.” And I did laugh out loud, between tears. This one will stick with you.

The Gopher King, by Gojan Nikolich, is an interesting story. However, as a reader, it was the way the story was told that intrigued me. The author has a very original, gritty style. I don’t have much common with the protagonist, but seeing through the world through his eyes caused me to feel a lot of empathy for him and I really cared what became of him.
Five stars and I will be keeping an eye out for future books by Gojan Nikolich. I received an advanced copy of this book but it did not influence my review. ( )
