About this ebook
A quasi-intellectual journal of a fictitious College where students are prepared to administrate the world's financial institutions and government agencies by way of a 'secret society' referred to as Avalon. It is written as a play with characters and scenes introduced with introductory sections. The style is a surreal black comedy with satirical undertones.
The story begins with the graduation ceremony of the final year, then changes to two boys playing on a beach where they discover the stricken body of an octopus left to die. A subversive text is handed around to some students which warns of the decline of capitalism. The story lurches forward with snap-shots of various students attending lectures and virtual field trips.
One student in conjunction with a blogger infiltrate the Apartment block owned by the highest echelon of financial leaders to search for the portal (known as the Pond) into how the world's financial institutions hide and subvert government regulation. Along the way the reader is treated to a rare glimpse of one of the world's richest people's lifestyle.
The play ends with the description of how the founder of Haute College descended into despair after learning how the original tenets of the College were being subverted for unethical purposes.
Miles Rothwell
Miles impressed a primary school teacher with a poem titled 'Snow' and then in his late teens won a school poetry competition. When the band Talking Heads released 'Remain In Light', Miles became obsessed with writing lyrics. After reading Joyce's 'Ulysses', Miles knew he wanted to become an author. His first manuscript was written while living in Darlinghurst in the eighties. Miles is the proud father of Alexandra and Tristan. Miles other interests are music, sport and going to the beach. He quite often pretends to know a lot about wine. Miles and the children like going on holidays, especially the South Coast of NSW. Miles ranks making Spike Milligan laugh at an ABC shop book signing as one of his greatest personal moments.
