This summer Thomas Nelson is releasing Nate’s next book, which is called Notes from the Tilt-a-Whirl. To say that the first chapter reminds me of how Chesterton would have written had he taken LSD as a non-Christian in the sixties but who wrote many years later as one older, wiser, and three times as quirky, would be overstatement, not to mention an overextended simile, and so I refrain. But still.
Oops. Correction. Dandelion Fire is the next book. You know how it is.
Here is the publisher’s blurb:
“A visual, poetic exploration of the narrative nature of the world and the personality of the Poet behind it all. When Nate Wilson looks at the world around him, he asks ‘What is this place? Why is this place? Who approved it? Am I supposed to take it seriously?’ What could such an outlandish, fantastical world say about its Creator? In these sparkling chapters, Wilson gives an aesthetic examination of the ways in which humanity has tried to make sense of this overwhelming carnival ride of a world. He takes a whimsical, thought-provoking look at everything from the “magic” of quantum physics, to nature’s absurdities, to the problem of evil, evolution and hell. These frequently humorous, and uniquely beautiful portraits express reality unknown to many Christians-the reality of God’s story unfolding around and among us. As the author says, “Welcome to His poem. His play. His novel. His comedy. Let the pages flick your thumbs.”
