Addicts: A Paper Movie (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781649528780)

Addicts can be read like a novel or a paper movie. What is a paper movie? It is a novel in scenes that can be read in about two hours and that tells an intense story, a thriller with suspense, humor, and solution of a crime, a felony or a mystery. One of the protagonists of this story is Chelo Gómez, an American and Mexican variant of Sherlock Holmes. Chelo Gómez is not guided by visual, olfactory, and auditory evidence like the famous English detective, but rather by a combination of Sufi stories, musical scores and concerts, and small talks with his young friends-the often absent-minded P. A., nurse Natalia, and waitress Roberta River. Retired police chef Gavin William serves as a rational counterpoint to Chelo's unusual detective investigations. At the end, as in the DVDs, scenes not included and fragments of "interviews" with "actors" from the paper movie are presented.
