Bill GreenFREUD AND THE NAZIS GO SURFING
February 25th 2010 05:12
This is unashamed promotion of the third edition of my novel, Freud and the Nazis Go Surfing. It was first published a decade or so ago (Pan Macmillan) to rave reviews. It is now available on Amazon.
All its themes are current today. It's not just a half-smart title, but one that represents the world that many people struggle to cope with no matter how tuned in they may imagine themselves to be.
Rachel, a survivor of Hitler's death camps is recovering at a holiday boarding house in a surfing town and fifteen year old Jim discovers how the world has been as he has been growing up. The surf culture he loves becomes incidental as new paths appear. A returned soldier who idolises Nazism and is persecuting Rachel, lights a circles of fires around the town and a terrible game of survival begins.
Jim and his surfing companion Gillian become lovers but how can they make sense of the beauty and terror around them?
THE SCREENPLAY I ADAPTED FROM THE NOVEL WAS CHOSEN FOR WORK SHOPPING AT SUNDANCE, AND WAS SOLD TO AN L.A. PRODUCTION HOUSE. LATER TO ROADSHOW COOTE AND CARROL WHERE IT LANGUISHES IN TURNAROUND.
