Somebody Nobody Anybody: When the Cows Come Home

By Alan Blum

Alan Blum's concerns are dramatized in the surreal narrative of
his novel Somebody Nobody Anybody: When the Cows Come
Home. He inverts the genre of magical realism that injects fiction
and fantasy into a realistic tale as a way of showing how life needs
magic, by showing alternatively that magic needs a dose of the Real
to deal with life. A beleaguered professor decides to study hatred by
doing research on the Anti-Hate unit of the Toronto Police Force.
After becoming entangled in the clich s governing public opinion
about what is inoffensive rather than meaningful the professor is
himself accused and tried for a hate crime.
