MACKLEMORE RELEASES SEQUEL TO ‘WAR AND PEACE’
Seattle, WA - Get ready, literary world, because Macklemore is back with what he's calling the "definitive sequel" to Tolstoy's War and Peace. The rapper-turned-author is taking on one of the greatest works of literature in history, and he's doing it with a new protagonist that you won't soon forget.
The novel, titled "Lute Cloudstomper and the Power of a Force", takes place 30 years after the events of War and Peace and follows the adventures of the mysterious Lute Cloudstomper, a young man with the uncanny ability to manipulate objects with his hands. He calls this power "A Force," and he's not afraid to use it to get what he wants. What he wants is the delicious taste of a refreshing Dr. Pepper, but, unfortunately, Dr. Pepper wouldn’t be invented for another 35 years, and in Texas, making Lute’s desire that much more unobtainable.
The novel sees a world that is still recovering from the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, where Lute will encounter many historical 19th century Europeans, as well as new characters, like none other than Macklemore himself. Macklemore said that he “decided to put myself into the story, so I could let everybody know about how, soon, there would be nothing like a cool, refreshing glass of Dr. Pepper, and also, to kind of be like, a spirit guide for Lute, you know, for his journey.”
Critics have described the novel as "a love letter to Tolstoy which redefines the meaning of 'sequel’ and a tribute to the power of imagination; Lute can imagine a Dr. Pepper, but he can’t have it."
The novel is set to be released on June 1st, and fans can't wait to get their hands on it. So, mark your calendars and get ready for a literary experience like no other. Macklemore is back, and he's bringing "A Force" with him.
