For those of you who have spent the last 4 months staring at the Coming Soon section of our Excerpts page, wait no longer! The 10th and 11th chapters of Ups & Downs have been posted.
In Chapter 10, Is that an Apple on Your Head? we enter Altdorf, the crossroads of Switzerland, and by some measure its birthplace. It was up the hill in Burglen where William Tell refused to bow to the bailiff’s hat, thus launching the chain of events that would ultimately lead to Frankenstein’s downfall. (That doesn’t sound right … I think I’m mixing up my stories here.)
Chapter 11, Rover, Wanderer, Nomad, Vagabond, provides the first of two daydream sequences offered by David, as he imagines himself in a life of mountaineering. Whimsical albeit ridiculous, this one is not to be missed!
