Description During Books Lips of a Mastodon

(BACK COVER)

Why does Ted Bernal Guevara keep putting out these James Dean conceptual novels? In plain truth, Guevara says, “He’s like a kid (James Dean) I went to class with, rode the bus with and slid down an awesome snow-packed hill with.” And after high school, he goes on to Hollywood fame and immortality while Guevara from his modest bookish world is left to wonder about the iconic image, giving it a stark, poignant voice sixty years later. Guevara grew up in Marion, Indiana, where the actor was born.

In 1954, Dean met perhaps the one real romance of his brief life. Italian actress Pier Angeli was barely 22 when her movie The Silver Chalice coincided with Dean’s East of Eden at Warner Brothers. She’d sneak over to watch him perform, and he would do the same. When they finally interact, Pier’s mother disapproves of Dean’s behavior, attire and not being Catholic.

Some say it was all for the limelight and publicity. Guevara’s gripping and frank story vies otherwise, excavating the actor’s true passion for the lovely but quaint Ms. Angeli.

Guevara is also the author of True Feel, A Circle with Two Corners, and Days of Slint, the first James Dean conceptual novel.

Crit Based On Books Lips of a Mastodon

When I started this short book, I was convinced I was going to be caught and be involved. From the first-person pseudo-transfiguration the author has adopted, to the deepening love story between James Dean and actress Pier Angeli, I was hooked. Flawless interweaving to make a true occurrence into a novel. I was drawn in by Deans often casual lingo (so real at times one would think the actor had written the book). I was also intrigued by famous celebs in the plot, who are candid, in their daily

Recently, Ted Bernal Guevara posted in his Facebook [James Dean] loved to laugh, always made use of the moment as lively as possible, or else This maybe. But the author seemed to forget the waning in his novel, Lips of a Mastodon. Though, the writing is good, and the plot seems to be in order, his profile of the actor is soaked in booze and experimental drug use. Happiness in the moment does not exist. Whether the escape is from the denial of Pier Angeli or from a rough youth, the actor here is

Lips of a Mastodon is the story of James Dean's brief stint with the Italian actress Pier Angeli. But the book doesn't pretend to be a biography--or a painfully researched item so the enigmatic fan could point at an inaccuracy and raise hell. In fact the author or a disclaimer jots it down in the opening pages: This is a work of fiction.But with the cover, one of the more famous photos of the couple, the book says I have this "in cement, enjoy it, for it had taken place...."The "this" is a love

Ive really been thinking a lot about this review. First off I am a fan of old Hollywood ever since I lived a very tiny tip of it in Sherman Oaks, occasionally mentioned in this novel. With the actor James Dean, Im more caught up with what was before my time. I approached the storyline with an open mind. The author here I feel is reaching at times just to woo. The first couple segments were interesting to read because it had history as backing. Then the writing style became a stream of

One thing that lacks in the front cover or what this novel recommends before reading it is the note: YOU MUST BE A JAMES DEAN FAN! Guevara ventures on putting out a story written for the general adult audience and gambles on "You don't need to know my characters beforehand. Just enjoy my narrative."Bold aim. To me, I pretended not to know James Dean and still had a joyous ride in what a novel puts you through, in reading Lips of a Mastodon. But that's me, a Hollywood flake.Furthermore, Guevara

I was gifted this book by the author. We struck up a casual conversation one day and to my surprise he said, "I like to write." I thought, "Okay? That's nice." But as we kept talking I knew he was serious. Mr. Guevara convinced me not by asking me to read, but by his passion for it. We talked about The Great Gatsby and other books we've both read. He vowed to bring me a copy of his latest book, "Lips of a Mastodon." And low and behold the next day he brought it in for me, signed and all. So I

The concept is simple: extend East of Eden. I saw the movie some 20 years ago, and this novel, Lips of a Mastodon, made me want to analyze that movie some more. So I watched it again. And sure enough, evidence of balance between evolution and creationism are in both stories. Guevara uses the actor Ray Massey to further the idea, revealing an aftermath friendship with James Dean, basing it on who's-to-know. Not all the days of the rebel actor were recorded. This could have happened. This subplot
