From the Author
Orchard Park was constructed to combat the deceits of modern fiction and literary fiction, which is without an enduring message. Modern, degenerate fiction entertains, but that is all...; it is without a creed, it is without an audience of violent bearing, it is without beauty, it is without cause, and it does not aspire. In books, as in music, it is the dilettante that esteems deformity and erects roadblocks to beauty; that would condition all of us to see with jaundiced eyes and hear with wax-filled ears. We are no longer able to distinguish between hoax and reality. We are trained to want tales of things and places, not of Being and Ideas.
- The first and second editions of Orchard Park, now out of print, have been succeeded by a third edition: Orchard Park and Other Works (Orchard Park Press, 2012).
Review
Dieter Heim, Hyperborean Times, Vol. 66, No. 3, May-June 2012: "If Orchard Park is nothing else, it is a militant celebration of Imagination--a literary guerrilla handbook written to arm its readers against a Marxist occupation of the mind. I recommend it, but I doubt that will make a difference...not at the end of an Age."
Laura Le Croix, Orchard Park Gazette, Kunst und Kultur, B1, 9 April 2012: "It is, simply stated, the overriding cause of Orchard Park's author to inspire in the reader the vital desire to overwhelm the pernicious assaults of the Technocrat and the Dissimulator and to become, themselves, men and women against Time."
A. S. Brun-Fournier, Carcassonne: Orchard Park's core philosophy, Transcendental Fascism, precedes the book as an enduring, but under-articulated Idea. The book charts the author's awakening to the Idea and its full articulation but does so in a categorically structured way designed to assist the reader along the path of his own initiation.
Komparu Inoue, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture: "Orchard Park is a radical departure from the anti-art popular in the West, but in Japan, with a better translation, it could find a warm home."
