LARS YENIN is an overworked
family man, who never gets enough sleep. When he loses both his job and
family, he lies down to sleep and doesn’t wake up. The mysterious
coma continues for years.
Two weeks into the sleep, another man who looks identical to Yenin arrives
and takes over Yenin’s life. Within a short time, he becomes a world-famous
occultist. This new Yenin never sleeps at all. Chaz
Darf is a sorrowful emigrant whose only enjoyment in life is art. Most
of his days are spent smoking cigars on the front steps of the block of
units where he lives. Nobody knows anything about his life before he came
to Australia.
When Chaz goes missing, and murders of seemingly supernatural circumstances
take place, the police are left with only one clue: Chaz’s paintings,
which clutter up his unit. Every painting is of the same subject: a beautiful
but deformed woman.
That’s not much help, though. What the police need is the help of
an expert in the occult – they go to Lars Yenin.
This independently published novel is drenched in occult
and theosophical concepts. It relates intrinsically to daily life in today's
urban landscape, exploring such things as Time, Jung's 'collective unconscious'
and Globalisation.
The Man Who Never Sleeps offers a fresh way of understanding
and dealing with familliar phenomena. |
