Tar Spackled Banner

Synopsis of the Novel, Tar Spackled Banner A mockumental work of the imagination by J. A. Ellis, Tar Spackled Banner is a 21st-century time-traveler's autobiography. It follows the journey of another Billy Pilgrim lost in a time of fascist violence and succession, discovering the curious esoterics of Thomas Carlyle's Sartor Resartus and recalling Fyodor Dostoevsky's anti-heroic protagonist's raves in Notes from Underground. Ellis takes the reader on a scripto-visual journey where the Goosestep is even more popular than the Soupyi Shuffle. About the Author, James R.
