Silent Extras: A Novel

The Story

Three hapless friends - nervous Ewald, impetuous Broccoli, seductive Elvira - are down on their luck, slightly unhinged, and determined to make it in bohemian Amsterdam.Together, they hatch a daring and foolish string of plots and schemes in order to make some impact on a world that could largely care less.They want to become famous actors, artists, con-men and thieves, but most of all, the three want recognition of their lives; to dent the world and have the world finally take notice.SILENT EXTRAS is an exuberant meditation on youth, waste, and the unstoppable power of comedy and farce.The novel is less a story of young people looking for meaning than it is a story of the young looking to undermine meaning.When the world makes no sense, all one can do is play along.
