Produktbeschreibung
While the narrator's story centres on a young teenage Lolita. The story also includes school yard narratives and school boy folk wisdom regarding strategy, tactics, manoeuvres, persuasion and the overall methodology for the guaranteed, successful and fool-proof gaining of access to physical intimacy with girls.The Mouse Trap involved the use of erotic romantic fiction to engage in metaphysical, political and philosophical reflectons. In some respect it is a response to Herbert Marcuse's Eros and Civilization and Reich's project on sexuality. It explores ideas and action related to nihilism and anarchism.The Mouse Trap was meant to be a dystopian novel, possibly something like Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange. However it did not quite turn out that way. However the idea of Nihilism especially as expressed in erotic teenage relationships became a theme I thought worthwhile exploring. It is my first stab at the dystopian novel. Did boys with characters like Charles, Gavin and Thomas actually exist? Did girls with characters like Paula and Vera actual exist? Maybe they did!
The Mouse Traps draws on memories of the views, opinions, values/morality and behavior of teenage boys and girls when I was in high school. Is the universe causally closed. Is the Universe like a mouse trap. That is the fundamental question of this highly charged Novella which creates the illusion that the narrative is skating on the thin ice of common decency.In 'The Mouse Trap' the echoes of a nascent postmodernism begins to resonate in the emerging vision of teenage realities which begin to take shape on the desolate wastelands of the East Rand gold fields in South Africa. A nihilism inspired by a messianic vision of Naturalism and Physicalism mixed in with the influences of Lindsay Anderson's movie called 'IF.....' and the book 'A Clockwork Orange' by Anthony Burgess play a significant role in shaping the perceptions of teenage school boys who in a spirit of anarchist rebellion embark on erotic adventures in which the parable of the charioteer of the soul in Plato's 'Phaedrus' finally finds voice once more after the passing of millennia.

Autorenporträt
As a son of a miner, I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. I grew up in the East Rand mining town of Boksburg. I matriculated from Boksburg High School. After high school, I was conscripted into the South African Defence Force for compulsory national military service when I was 17 years old. After my military service, I went to the University of the Witwatersrand. After graduating with a BSc honours degree I worked for a short period for the Department of Agriculture in Potchefstroom as an agronomist. As an obligatory member of the South African Citizen Miltary Force, I was called up to do 3-month camps on the 'Border' which was the theatre of the so-called counter-insurgency 'Bush War'. In between postgraduate university studies I also worked as a wage clerk on the South African Railways and as a travelling chemical sales rep. In my career as an academic, I was a molecular biologist at the University of the Witwatersrand, where I lectured courses in microbiology, molecular biology, biotechnology and evolutionary biology. On the research side, I was involved in genomics, and plant and microbial biotechnology. I also conducted research into the genomics of strange and weird animals known as entomopathogenic nematodes. I retired in 2019, however, I am currently an honorary professor at the University of the Witwaterand and I also work as a research writing consultant for the University of Johannesburg.
