WHEN THEY FELL FROM THE SKY

-- novel by Roberto Heliaz

​

description:  Straightforward, almost YA-style sci-fi  degenerates to non-YA-themed surrealism, speculation, symbolism. 

​

" 'Fever-dream, literate trip through allegorical alternate America, science-fiction satire and philosophical musing on contemporary world.' Small time drug dealer, young journalist, displaced cloned human and disembodied alien navigate a world changing unwillingly. Who moves forward; who' left behind, survives by chance or choices? Does the world progress towards something better, worse? Who moves this world; who intervenes? The setting of Earth is constant; skies open and darken as fates of quicker creatures beneath vary, coalesce, bubble, diminish, endure--little things, swings of emotion, continue to demand the largest share of lives of creatures, with their varied degrees of strength and happiness. Light, heavy, swift, convoluted, endless, concise. Aliens are pale green."
