Taking a hard look at the consequences of ignoring the rhythms found in nature, this novel focuses on Jubal Siner-an all-knowing antihero who offers freedom from the idea of redemption. Stylistically at home with Cormac McCarthy and Flannery O'Connor, this brooding work puts a twist on classic American literature by delving into a fascinating world of dark magical realism.

Does life have purpose and meaning? This question is a fount of anxiety that plagues mankind. No one has yet provided a definitive and believable answer that will allow humans to live in mental harmony. Angst and Evolution is a pragmatic investigation into life. It attempts to reveal and make sense of the struggle for human potential. Evidence is gathered and synthesized from the scientific, mythic, literary and cultural experience gained by our presence on planet Earth.

In A Clearing of the Way, John Montfort Gist takes the reader on a strange journey into the realm of mythology, religion and realism. Jacob Izarra, of Basque heritage, has lost his way in America. His journey, at times violent, at other times loving, forces him to define for himself what it is to be an American. At heart, A Clearing of the Way, is a love story whose fruits are prophetic, terrifying and hopeful at the same time. Nature herself is the protagonist in the story, a character who demands, like the God of the Old Testament, to be heard. Failure to listen brings with it the promise of fiery wrath.
