Adam's Questions,
A Novel by Martin Plesner B dtker
Bloody brushes. Broken bones. Did Adam strike a Faustian pact with the devil, or was he touched by the divine? Or perhaps both.
As one domino falls, others follow, faster and faster. From an infirmary bed, Adam confronts the accelerating collapse of his life: his twin brother Jack, a soldier turned preacher whose sermons echo louder than their shared memories; Mr. Glass, the calculating boss who set his ambitions ablaze; and the elusive artist, a shadowy figure who blurred the line between inspiration and obsession.
At the center of it all lies a gun, a tragic mistake, and the accidental shooting of Adam's beloved dog-a single act that triggered a cascade of ruin, leaving him lost in the wreckage of his past. But Adam's unraveling is not his alone. The dreamscape of America is crumbling around him: a land of ambition turned feverish, of creation consumed by destruction, of a culture spinning out of control.
Adam's Questions is a visceral exploration of creation and destruction, of ambition spiraling into chaos, and of a nation that mirrors its protagonist's undoing. By turns vivid, haunting, and hallucinatory, Martin P. Bodtker delivers a lyrical meditation on art, violence, and an America gone haywire-a world that demands answers to questions it dares not ask.
