Copyright 2010-2012 by Global Dialogue Press | On September 18, 2010, Global Dialogue Press released Adam E. Stone's fourth novel, Cache Girl Saves the World: A Novel in Visions. The release introduced a new medium for literary fiction: the "novel in visions," which combines audio of the novel's text with still photographs of some of its action, packaged in DVD format.
The novel tells the story of Ta'li, a young runaway whose Cherokee ancestors died on the Trail of Tears. Searching for peace for herself and the world, Ta'li finds herself in the swamps of Southern Illinois' Cache River, where, with the help of the Swamp Asp and the legendary Big Muddy Monster, she embarks on a daring quest to bring her vision of empathy, empowerment, unity, social justice and ecological wisdom to a humanity seemingly bent on self-destruction.
Shot predominately on location in Southern Illinois by principal photographer Sarah Dalby, the novel features stunning photographs--both abstract and concrete--of the area's natural beauty, and of Grammy Award-winning musician, American Indian Film Award-nominated actress, storyteller, and renowned dancer Thirza Defoe, of the Ojibwe and Oneida Nations, who portrays Ta'li, and who co-produced the novel with author Adam E. Stone.
"Creating Cache Girl Saves the World: A Novel in Visions" is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this unique literary work.
At the event, Grammy Award-winning musician Thirza Defoe (who stars in Cache Girl Saves the World), Sarah Dalby (who took many of the photographs for the project), and author Adam E. Stone show excerpts from the DVD, interspersed with Question and Answer sessions about the project.
In addition, up to 12 poster-sized (22" x 32") prints of still photos from the novel in visions can be displayed during the event, as well as artifacts used in the production of the novel in visions.
Copies of the DVD Cache Girl Saves the World: A Novel in Visions are available for sale at all events.
Adam, Thirza, and Sarah are available to do additional presentations and workshops in conjunction with the events, as negotiated.
