Demons…. A murderous peeping Tom…. A three-hundred pound psychic beautician… A two-headed baby… And a visionary painter haunted by a strange beauty and a family curse dating back to Napoleonic France.
At once a mystery story, a love story, a kabbalistic conundrum, and a black comic farce in knockout prose—GOLDSMITH'S RETURN is a novel you’ll want to read twice!
PRAISE FOR GOLDSMITH’S RETURN
"[Goldsmith’s Return] is a novel of unusual ability and imagination. And it will get the author off to a flying start on a successful career as a novelist. And I do believe it.”
—Joseph Heller
“Goldsmith’s Return is a superb comic novel, deliciously vicious, politically incorrect and outrageously funny. It is a large gem, a diamond as big as a rat.”
—John Fergus Ryan
“Goldsmith’s Return is an impish tour de farce of dark humor, a bubbling cauldron of Pynchonesque paranoia, Dostoevskian humiliation, Kafkaesque body-loathing and punishing language a la Philip Roth, all simmered down to a thick, pungent, Gothic sauce. The subject of this cookery is Eleazar Goldsmith, one of the oddest literary wrecks since Franz Kafka turned his Gregor Samsa into an insect and sent him scurrying for the woodwork.
. . . Bazes keeps his pituitary sideshow moving with a prose style that has more teeth than a reef of sharks. It is an acrid, fire-breathing language whose every sentence is a small explosion in the back of the reader’s head.... Terry Richard Bazes is a wonderful writer and a funny man. His voice is swift and precise and wise and keening, madly sly and slyly mad, and I hope to hear it again.”
—Mark Shechner in The Buffalo News
“ . . . A terrifically dry sense of humor and an amazing capacity for description. A panoply of characters, from a dwarf artist to an obese, new-age cowgirl with ESP named Dagmar, recall the work of John Irving in their uncanny provision of a bizarre, yet oddly accurate, reflection of life.”
—Bethany Jean Clement in The San Francisco Review of Books

"Goldsmith's Return" is crazy good and by that I mean that the writing sings with off-the-charts invention, highly nuanced characters and a story line, which held me enthralled through the last word. Indeed, every word in this novel is chosen intelligently, thoughtfully and creatively to lend an aspect of vivid clarity with a 3D quality. The language is so beautifully constructed that I wish I had written this novel. Like his "Lizard World" there exists a surreal aspect to every character which reads at times like a farce, a black comedy and the source of a script for a film noir. The characters possess an uncanny surrealism so much so that they inhabit the novel like living, breathing, wildly authentic figures from a painting by Dali. The surreal becomes vividly realistic in the novels of Bazes. His figures speak with a natural expressiveness resonating in its authenticity about subjects, places and incidents which are so extraordinary and yet possess a verisimilitude only a brilliant novelist could render so vibrantly and with such a convincing aura. It is a mark of a mature novelist that the characters of a book have their own unique aspects and also that they behave with a personality which is distinct to separate as foils each one from another. The protagonist as a proxy for the author in great novels does not overshadow the bit players who lend their own lesser contributions with cumulative distinction. So it is in this great novel by Bazes. I admire the way that Bazes in this brilliant first novel shows such uncommon maturity in the character development and dialogue of this book. He leads his readers on a wild carnival ride to unexpected heights and deep troughs by virtue of his sheer genius as a story teller. In "Lizard World" he reaffirms his gifts in one of the most original and surprising plot resolutions ever to grace a published page. His work is memorable by virtue of its vibrancy, innovation and quality of creative craftsmanship. I can't recommend more highly the novels of Terry Richard Bazes as their creative quality is one of a kind and will lead you on a journey so unexpected that you will have no idea where he intends to take you until the final page. I can't wait to read his next masterpiece.Product details

Goldsmith Return edition by Terry Richard Bazes Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Bazes writes with great beauty, drawing even the most reluctant reader into a world that is terribly funny or unutterably sad. Nowadays commerce plays such a role in literature that we often overlook books not manufactured by author/celebrities who have a recognizable brand. Bazes is not yet a brand, but he writes beautifully, his prose is both nimble and convincing.
This isn't Coca Cola, but ambrosia.
It was pretty good from what I recall.
