This metafiction novel may be considered a literary examination of
a modern societal trend toward romantic relationships between
people of different age groups. The main character of “60 plus” is
married but falls in love with a beautiful 25-year young girl. Their short
initial encounter in a gym does not develop beyond a few conversations as
she is scheduled to relocate to another city. He is determined to challenge
the circumstances and find her not knowing her contact information.
The author offers two probable further developments of their true
love affair under various external conditions. Those change a lot in the
unusually twisted scenario. The action takes place in different locations,
countries, and time periods. Exceptionally romantic emotional and sexual
relationships may intertwine with exotic journeys or dramatic mysterious
adventures. To achieve such a wide diversity, the author incorporates his
deep historical and geographical knowledge with broad life experience. The
author may purposefully neglect stringent orthography rules conveying
a character’s stream of consciousness or include poetic pieces into the
narrative to enhance its emotional impact. Also draw attention multiple
extensive epigraphs that help create specific atmosphere intended by the
author in his writing. This is rarely seen in contemporary prose. These
non-traditional techniques allow the author to show his discretion toward
the characters and events not imposing it onto the readers. In conjunction
with his modern, austere and concise writing style, this makes the book
a diverse and captivating reading for literature lovers. It is sure to appeal
to fiction readers who like to think while reading romance.
