The Panda Chronicles: A mythology

By Paul Bowers

Follow the misadventures of the naive and hapless Panda in this ancient mythology. The Panda Chronicles tells the story of our charming but bewildered hero's attempts to get a paw around the great truths of life and love, even as he sparks off chaos all around. Part low comedy, part post-modern fable, the story proceeds through a series of allegorical encounters with a colourful cast of minor characters, presented to us by an excitable contemporary narrator. As Panda's slapstick disasters take a more tragic turn, so the text cunningly dismantles itself, and we are left pondering, with Panda and his beleaguered narrator, just what it has all meant. Throw in a lyrical prose style, a dose of romance, war, shipwrecks and the god of tangled coat hangers, and you are ready to enter the unique world of Panda, walking into things, and bumping his snout.Readers' comments on the blogged draft: "Beautiful, surreal, timeless and otherworldly ... special and rare""The elegantly constructed chronicles, they are wonderful""Truly a great writer, and that's no small thing""A cult hero""Unique stories""These stories are absolutely WONDERFUL.
