Alexander Merow’s Prey World Is there a prospective literary editor with a bit of time on his hands out there? Or, at least, someone who fancies shaping-up a translation from the German of the first volume of Alexander Merow’s Prey World series. Prey World is a dystopian fiction series currently standing at three volumes with a fourth in progress. To quote Merow, only a fool would think it nothing more than fiction. The narrative opens in 2027 and concerns the efforts and sacrifices of people and peoples in Europe and the East to free themselves from a totalitarian new order - a global state sustaining an elite of a clearly Jewish and Masonic character above peoples bound to a life of kafkaesque greyness, poverty and official brutality. Merow is a thriller writer, not a creative artist. But he is not writing for the reader with a developed aesthetic taste. He is writing for the mass audience. Here is what the translator (I presume) has to say about his work:
Editing the translation is, I feel, less than it really needs. I found myself less offended by the translator’s understandable and admitted shortcomings than by the author’s evident refusal to pause and really finish each paragraph he has written. At the close of this first volume there is a passage in which the World President dismisses his secretary’s concern over a brutally put-down rebellion in Paris. I’ve corrected both the grammar and word selection and also completed the artistic portrait. The latter, of course, is well outside the task of Anglicisation requested by the translator, and would probably ruffle the authorial feathers. Nonetheless, it’s what the narrative needs to make it attractive to a game publisher and a wide readership - and it is a wide readership that the message deserves.

Posted by Guessedworker on Mon, 01 Aug 2011 09:24 | # It is what it is, CC. Merow isn’t writing for the people who read Kafka or even Orwell. He doesn’t imbue his characters with any more roundness than Ian Fleming. As a future dystopia, however, his Prey World is a lot more realistic than Huxley’s Brave New World and about on a par with Orwell’s Oceania/Eurasia/Eastasia. Through it, non-awakes who like science fiction but would never read a political novel could be brought to question the world in which they are living. And that’s the point, isn’t it - waking up as many people from all walks of life as possible? 5
Posted by Michael on Tue, 02 Aug 2011 11:08 | # The novel is no “Dr. Evil scenario”. I know the German versions and the dystopic future is more than realistic. Merow knows about the political background and the “Prey World” will be reality soon, if the people won`t wake up. George Orwells “1984” is still a great book, but Prey World is much more connected to our present. The destruction of the national states and cultures, the brainwash of political correctness etc. It is all part of our real life and a coming world tyranny of the NWO is no more fiction for everyone, who knows about the real rulers of this world.

LOL!
The grandiloquence of Himalayan proportions of this monologue would seem more appropriate coming from the mouth of Mike Myers as Dr. Evil in yet another Austin Powers sequel.
