BACK FROM THE BARDO A Noir Novella Guaranteed to Top the Pulp Fiction Charts
Any
reader hoping to find a hard-hitting, no-hold-barred story about one simple
man’s far-from-simple life need look no further. James Cage’s
Back From
the Bardo, is the very best of noir-driven pulp fiction.
Divided into three distinct stories, this novella focuses on more than three
decades of one man’s unexpected foray into a life fraught with danger. In the
opening story, Holding the Bricks, the protagonist, Jaime, an
American studying in Guadalajara, finds himself saddled with two kilos of
high-quality cocaine. Their owner, a sophisticated, drug, dealing American
medical student, entrusts the blow to Jaime, who succumbs to the anxiety of
possessing the drugs and transports it back to the States. What happens next is
as shocking as it is unexpected. And it makes the reader beg for more. In the other stories, with Jaime continuing as the main character, James Cage
continues to deliver the goods. Astral Andy and the Funny Bear is
an intricate and consistently fascinating look into our protagonist’s life on
the run. Germ Spreaders on a Train draws us into Jaime’s mid-life,
when international conspiracies butt up against technological sleight of hand,
and where Jaime rubs elbows with shady characters for the very last time.

Brings back memories, July 11, 2006
P.C (NJ) A friend and I once talked about the movie "Boogie Nights" over a
beer. I said that I thought it was hysterically funny. He said that he
thought it was sad. I replied that if you couldn't see the humor, then you
didn't get the humor. I feel the same way about "Back From the Bardo". This one
is destined to be a cult classic.
Dark Humor, May 23, 2006
A.M (Newport Beach, CA) This is five star pulp fiction, a must read for
anyone who likes their humor on the dark side.
A review from M. R. New York City, NY.
"Subtle dark humor throughout the novella makes these stories a
terrific read."
