Entertaing and Relatable Read By clear_tranquil I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for a honest review.This is a short story containing a snapshot of Monty's night on the town and how they are desperately trying to figure out their place in the scheme of things. Monty identifies as someone who doesn't necessarily fit into the gender binary and they are perfectly fine with that. What Monty is searching for however, are genuine connections with others. I really enjoyed the stream of consciousness writing style and the story was very relatable

"Monty" gets a pass for effort, but fails in everything else By Rod Raglin I want to thank Marcelle Liemant for his hard work and commitment to this worthwhile endeavor.Monty, Nadia and Art are heading out on the town, but first they watch a house burn down. Then they’re off,"The streets rush past as we leap through the yellow lights. We run too fast, we laugh too loudly. We are too young and too old and too much. This night is open for the taking and we are rushing for it."Monty apparently is emotionally damaged. Just what has happened isn’t clear. He wants to forget, to not inhabit his “self”, be filled with the presence of other people and events.They crash a party, they drink whiskey, Monty dances wildly by himself to very loud music and becomes so caught up in it he does a handstand.Another friend, Daria arrives at the party but they quickly have to leave. The four of them run through the streets (again). Nadia encourages Monty to go with Daria. She thinks Daria will help him recover from whatever is tormenting him.The reader eventually learns what has traumatized Monty and pushed him to the brink is nothing more than being dumped by his previous girlfriend, Cecilia. As the wild night progresses “the thread” eventually takes him back to Cecilia’s where he attempts to purge the past that’s plaguing him by setting fire to where she lives..Author Marcelle Liemant should be commended for his attempt at a progressive style of writing. His oblique dialogue, his somewhat unique phrasing and word pairings are interesting when they work, but most often they don’t. The vague references and ambiguity of the characters and their motivations quickly becomes frustrating.More often than not conversations between characters are little more than existential gobbledygook. After a while this fifties-era hipster jive talk style became annoyingly pretentious as well as unnatural.While Liemant may well have thought he was imbuing hidden meaning in the obscure imaginings and dialogue of his characters, to this reader it was just the opposite. What was likely meant to astound, instead confusedThere’s a book by author and teacher Les Edgerton, called "Finding your voice – how to put personality in your writing". In it Edgerton argues if you were allowed to just write “naturally”, not like how you were "told" to write and not like how you think a “writer”should write" (which he calls writing “writer-ly”), you’d have your original voice.In "Monty", I get the impression the author is trying to copy the style of a writer he admires and it’s coming off sounding “writer-ly”. Copying someone else’s style usually tends to sound unnatural because, well, it is unnatural, not only for the obvious reason, but also because you’re likely not of his time, his place, and most certainly not of his presence of mind.I believe if you have a good story the voice to tell it with will come to you. Sort of like the literary version of W. P. Kinsella’s famous line in "Field of Dreams".If you take away Monty’s angst, there’s no depth in his character whatsoever and neither is there in any of the other characters. By their actions and emotional responses I had the impression I was reading about adolescents, though their histories suggest they’re young adults.The plot is superficial and only once very briefly when Monty’s gender was questioned did I think there might be something more to it then post relationship antipathy and remorse.There wasn’t.I liked “Monty”, but only for what it attempted, not what it achieved.I downloaded this book from StoryCartel free in exchange for an honest review and as part of my ongoing commitment to review the work of self-published authors.
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Evocative and interesting By Kadlady I received a copy of Monty from the author Marcelle Liemont. It is an interesting story told in the first person of someone who is genderfluid and seems to be affected by depersonalization disorder. Monty returns to Melbourne after some time away in the desert. The reader eventually learns the reason for Monty’s departure, as it continues to cause problems in their life, to the point they decide to burn down their former home. Monty’s most responsible friend Nadia stops them in time to prevent arson and takes them to her place. There Monty seems to realize they need to follow a thread that reconnects them to something. This is an unconventional story about an unconventional person, but fascinating nonetheless.
