Narration Supposing Books Lips of a Mastodon

(BACK COVER)

Why does Ted Bernal Guevara keep putting out these James Dean conceptual novels? In plain truth, Guevara says, “He’s like a kid (James Dean) I went to class with, rode the bus with and slid down an awesome snow-packed hill with.” And after high school, he goes on to Hollywood fame and immortality while Guevara from his modest bookish world is left to wonder about the iconic image, giving it a stark, poignant voice sixty years later. Guevara grew up in Marion, Indiana, where the actor was born.

In 1954, Dean met perhaps the one real romance of his brief life. Italian actress Pier Angeli was barely 22 when her movie The Silver Chalice coincided with Dean’s East of Eden at Warner Brothers. She’d sneak over to watch him perform, and he would do the same. When they finally interact, Pier’s mother disapproves of Dean’s behavior, attire and not being Catholic.

Some say it was all for the limelight and publicity. Guevara’s gripping and frank story vies otherwise, excavating the actor’s true passion for the lovely but quaint Ms. Angeli.

Guevara is also the author of True Feel, A Circle with Two Corners, and Days of Slint, the first James Dean conceptual novel.

Notice Based On Books Lips of a Mastodon

I read True Feel last year and loved it so much that I wanted to experience more of this still quite unknown author.Lips of a Mastodon was a complete u-turn in style and approach. I'm not sure if its biography gone fiction, considering in the back of the book, Guevara admits [James Dean] is "like a kid I went to class with" which suggests to me a bond closer than fanfare or even from a biographer looking in too deep. The best way I know to describe this novel is: a mix of Chuck Palahniuk and

This book is far more solid and upbeat(!) than I had expected it to be, and can be enjoyed at many levels from plot to its nostalgic aspect. I'm used to highly intellectual fiction, which this has some and I thoroughly enjoyed. Yet despite its exploration of the life of a tragic figure (James Dean is such), it manages to be light-hearted. It's satirical as well; so much so that it bogs down any reference to any sad outcome. If anything it more closely resembles the mysticism of one J.D. Salinger

I found this novel to be informative and entertaining, a sympathetic depiction of James Dean, the Indiana-born actor who made three major films in less than two years. Most of what was written in the book had a fresh take. Deans affair with Pier Angeli, with all the vibrant, offbeat, sometime hilarious details, was new to me so it held my interest. But it was a sad story of a guy trying to fit a new girl in his life, to somehow replace the tragedy of his mothers death while he was under the roof

We, my husband and I, agree with most of what is claimed under this novel, just not quite sure of how high the star rating gets! True, this unknown author has potential, perhaps a smooth quality to his writing, so fluid one tends to overlook grammatical errors. I found six. But yes, over time they can just be part of the book's characteristic. The plot is in order enough, day to day. One thing I see is every time that there's crisis, the flow of the narrative also goes asunder, not just in the

Lips of a Mastodon is the story of James Dean's brief stint with the Italian actress Pier Angeli. But the book doesn't pretend to be a biography--or a painfully researched item so the enigmatic fan could point at an inaccuracy and raise hell. In fact the author or a disclaimer jots it down in the opening pages: This is a work of fiction.But with the cover, one of the more famous photos of the couple, the book says I have this "in cement, enjoy it, for it had taken place...."The "this" is a love

This book irked me a little. Everyone wants to manipulate the corpse of James Dean. Not me, and admitting that is wanting everything to stay the same. Hey, we're all fanatics here. Reading it I saw a lot of myself in Dean, in a normal crazy sense. Am I going to buy an unprotected Porsche and drive it a hundred miles per hour? I hope not. But the author does great on injecting normalcy, or rather on the calming of the actors hectic disposition leading an abnormal life. What isnt in Hollywood?

This book makes James Dean alive again! I read it twice. It's funny the publication was set on September 30, the day he had crashed his Porsche that ended his life. As a matter of fact, this book makes every famous persons in the story alive again (e.g. Natalie Wood, Marlon Brando, Paul Newman).
