Most readers take me as a straightforward writer in search of laughs and truths, and so every reader (fur as I know) has attempted somewhat confusedly to read Whirlaway literally, but Doctor Kelly Daniels, who assigned the novel to two of his writing classes at Augustana College, is the first to recognize the hidden structure, the mirror-entendre, as it were. It’s presumptous to have to explain your own work, so I thought I’d let the Doctor do it for me [spoilers ahead]:“Oh, I believe I built up my "reading" of Whirlaway to a degree I'll never be able to fulfill. Basically, here's how I interpret the story. Eddie Plum, Jangler, and Sofia are inventions of the author of the book, Whirlaway, a self-help murder novel being written in a maximum security forensic hospital. The dog is also an invention, along with the Island and its residents and the sexy racetrack woman whose name I forget. Shelly is the inmate and the author. He invented Eddie as a more attractive first-person stand in. Shelly's story is essentially true, the abuse, serial-killer love, the brother, and, sadly, the murdered TJ women. He is locked up for multiple murders. The book is about healing, and the act of it is an act of healing. The crucial moment comes when Shelly, in the guise of Plum, revisits the sites and instances of his murders, but in his re-imagining, he does not kill them. No, he sees them as real humans, and just lets them go. In this way, it's a happy ending, even though Shelly will never get out. He will, perhaps, manage to get transferred to an easier place to do his time, and that's about as much as we can hope for… I wonder if an explicit comparison to Fight Club might attract a new audience, or at least give readers a hint about how to read it.â€
Poe Ballantine has a gift for making the reader care about his characters—people that we may never have the opportunity to know— flawed characters, yet by learning about them through Eddie Plum’s perspective, the reader can appreciate the depth of his subject and the people in his life. I found myself caring about Eddie in a way that would not have been possible if I read about him in a newspaper article. The same holds true for the other characters like Shelly, Donny, Sophia, Sweets, and even Dr. Jangler. That is because Poe Ballantine is a brilliant writer— one with empathy, humor, and the ability to tell a story jumping right into the hard stuff. He is not shy about showing the characters’ vulnerabilities while at the same time having the writer’s gift of creating intriguing sentences and story lines. This is illustrated in the way his chapter titles correlate with the story that unfolds in each chapter. Bravo Mr. Ballantine — can’t wait for your next book.
Man in a mental hospital for the criminally insane, gets out on a flier, and while on the lamb, he begins to dig deeply into the past of his old friend Shelley Hubbard, who he suspects is a serial killer. At this point the novel dives into Southern California Gothic; locations, dates, freeway off ramps, punk rock bars, (but not the music). The usual signifiers, and free from his drug induced haze, Eddie Plum's perceptions begin to heighten. Some premises from the narrative are left, and other, new ones added. Reality is suspended, our perceptions are not reality, after all, and the artists truism, “I paint what I seeâ€, doesn't explain Picasso. There is no introspection here, a private eye focused on a cubist painting.If the vision is primal we still need to delineate our experience in time and space. Don't worry there is nothing here you don't already know. For instance we know that some people are vicious, cruel, and manipulative, and that others suffer for their short handed treatment. Shelly is a victim, a guy who collects records, but who doesn't really like the music, a sort of Spike Jones of vintage record dealers; selling odd one offs and groups that translate through the cultural trade warp between America and everywhere else. He keeps his crazy brother in the basement, albeit most homes in CA are built on a slab. Lives are ruined, love never comes to fruition, and not even a small portion of our human potential ever grows into anything meaningful. And that's okay...Author does a superb job of painting characters with a few simple brush strokes and capturing the state of mind of a place, like the Island. While Plum's percepts shine, they are neither PopArt, nor OpArt, but maybe GothArt, and the intellectual depth charges keep roiling the surface. There are pop music references, too many maybe. The ending just opens the story up, and there are more stories and you want to hear some of them. That would be the hope.
Poe Ballentine is one of the best nonfiction, essay writers alive and perhaps of recent times, along with EB White. However, his past novels have been sometimes too long, uninspiring and without much point. With Whirlaway, Ballentine has played to his strengths and produced a brilliantly written book. In this story, he sticks with the first person that has served him so well in his nonfiction - in the excellent style of Charles Bukowski. The characters are original and the plot buzzes along at a good pace. The writing is tight, beautiful and funny - it is such a pleasure to read an author hitting his full creative stride. An example on page 54: "So I made a quick prayer to the Mexican God who is more forgiving than the American One and went to find my truck. Maybe when I get back on my feet I would become a better man."
