Overview
"Along with a deep investigation of the human condition, this is a story that dissects, tests, and questions the foundations, fundamentals, and the fruition of a few lived-in experiences, and of the various full-circle warm-belly miraculous feeling of life happening. Ultimately, it all gets compared to one object—a Golden Delicious apple, whose symbolism, history, and lore (Biblical or otherwise) makes for a metaphor that both incites and soothes humanity's inclines and descents. The action revolves around chiefly one parable: human error puts the wrong man behind bars; human fortitude saves him. Golden Delicious is a modern generational saga, and also a multicultural, voice-driven epic that boasts of a diverse cast of characters, a nimble command of language and an ironic, often philosophical prose. Totaling 132,000 words, this body of work saw its genesis as a BFA Thesis and has evolved into a marketable debut." -- Abstract
