Paper Crown | Jim Peterson
1 post | 2 read
Blending features of speculative fiction, the occult, and the spiritual quest, Paper Crown details an unusual story of initiation. Traumatized by the mysterious circumstances of his mother's death, Chuck runs away from his Southern California home and lands in Colorado Springs where he becomes involved with Frank Posner and his mother, Lyuba. Leaders of an ancient and highly secretive family of travelers who have incredible powers, they take Chuck on a psychological journey in which he must face his disturbing past and confront a frightening and uncertain future. With a cast of vivid and sometimes bizarre characters, Paper Crown unfolds a classic story of loss, struggle, and renewal.

Jim Peterson was head of the English department at my alma mater for the longest time, and by the time I got here, he was retired and came back briefly to teach a master class I was in. He was an eccentric, warm old man, and it makes a lot of sense he wrote a book like this. It‘s very underwritten and under-explained, with lots of pretty poetic language, as Jim‘s primarily a poet. It‘s not great, but Jim Peterson is cool.
