The Portraits of Gods

The Portraits of Gods: forty-nine year-old Ethan Wakefield discovers that he is approaching retirement, and is distressed that he will no longer have an escape in work from his tumultuous home-life. Complicating matters, he possesses an extraordinary ability to recall specific events from any given date in his past with uncanny accuracy. It’s this very ability that causes him to dwell incorporeally in the doorway between past and present, comparing the dreams and reverie of youth to the despair of his adult life. One day, during his commute to work, Ethan misses his exit. But instead of getting off at the next, he continues driving, setting into motion events that will force him to strip away his desensitization by pitting past against present, and will breathe new life into his search for validity and meaningfulness. Set in California’s mythic Mayacamas Mountains, The Portraits of Gods blends beauty and symmetry of language to tell the tale of lost love and one man’s struggle with the slow-acting poison of regret.
