The main character of the book, an eccentric Aleph McNaught, is at a crossroads in what he sees as a meaningless life. Abused as a child, he turns to drugs and ends up locked up in an asylum before launching into a new and wild life populated by a host of multiple personalities.
McNaught, as narrator, invites the reader on a psychotic ride into his crazy headspace while commenting on the state of a fictitious society.
His goal is to tilt the axis of the old world order just enough to make a difference to the way people think. Only then can the megalomania in politics, economics, society and religion cause the old world order to spin out and unravel. In its place, a new world order will gather up the threads on an axis realigned to the demands of an ever evolving 21st century world.
Aleph invites the reader to help him empower the people of his beloved crippled country by offering them an absurd other-worldly alternative that offers political stability, social equality and economic security. He promises a tamper proof solution that can last forever.
He has published four full length novels, five musicals, four plays and two collections of his poetry. After his enormous success with his historical fiction novel, canecutter, where Davide captured the migrant experience of new Australians in the sugarcane fields between 1924 and 1985, the author insisted another historical fiction was the best way to get across his message on the tragedy of war in his next novel, Vietnam ... Viet-Bloody-Nam.
Mr Cottone believes that when it comes to authors selecting subject matter to write about, it's 'the chatter' that matters. Writers must stay tuned in to the chatter and when something important comes up it's time to get the written word out there. In his latest book, Shriek: an absurd novel, Mr Cottone has seized upon the individual and often collective dilemma of a sense of powerlessness in the global socio-political, economic and technological headspace. He sees powerlessness as a human frailty that the powerful exploit. This trauma becomes host to autism spectrum disorders characterised by a sense of meaninglessness and worthlessness which are the seeds to self-harm and suicide.
His genre of choice has now turned to absurdism which allows individuals to interpret the powerlessness phenomenon according to their own idiosyncratic life experiences. This helps give their own lives meaning and makes life worth living.
