Book Review: Cool Side of The Pillow by Gregory G. Allen
The multi talented Gregory G. Allen returns with a new novel
just as satisfying and just as entertaining as his past titles. Cool Side of
The Pillow is Allen at his best. Writing from the point of view of Zachary
Kleinmann, he takes us on a tour of one man’s psyche during a period of self
discovery that is thrilling audiences.
Zachary gave up his career to be a stay-at-home dad. His
wife has a great job and he’s enjoyed the years of nurturing and watching his
child grow up. But nothing lasts forever and when his tot enters kindergarten,
Zachary is left with questions about himself and his future that he never
expected to confront.
A literary portrait emerges as Zachary finds his way through
the changing landscape of his life. Growing as a person, he begins to
rediscover who he is as he recalls the man he was before he chose to chuck it
all in favor of a life of domesticity. Entering the world of Ginger Charman, a
free spirited actress, he is drawn into the enigma she presents and the life he
lived before may not be one he wants to return to.
Gregory G. Allen is a storyteller of the first order. He
doesn’t ascribe to one certain genre and in doing so he gives his audience something
new, something fresh, and something completely different with each successive
release. The award winning author of such popular titles as Well With My Soul
and Patchwork of Me gives his all with each offering and Cool Side of The
Pillow follows in the tradition of Allen’s excellent work. It’s another
masterpiece from a master writer. 5 Stars.
