Saccade – a novella “Chris Bell’s Saccade is a beautifully constructed, heartfelt work. Expertly weaving in multiple plotlines, Bell creates a story of loss, love, and ultimately redemption … It is, of course, a testament to his skill that he constructs such a complex plot without allowing too many threads to slip away, but that he is so precise with his diction is what sets him apart from other writers. He has a gift for emotionally loaded, short, concise statements.” Sophia Ioannou, Seven Stories Press sac·cade (sa’ka:d) n. [French, twitch, from Old North French saqiuer, to pull] any of the rapid, involuntary jumps made by the eyes from one fixed point to another. Sam Kite is plagued by panic attacks, lives alone and works in a dead-end job. But like most of the people he knows, he only pretends to be working. His life is pathetic. He lives in fear of “The Almighty Crunch”, which he senses is impending. His only release is his collection of films on DVD. When his half-hearted suicide attempt is foiled by a nameless ‘guardian stranger’, by chance Kite encounters “The White Woman”, an eye-catching squatter whose grace is undeniable and unavoidable. Her name is Grace Starling. Grace is deep; a once seen, never to be forgotten kind of woman who lives with a loose collective of graffiti artists, environmentalists and political activists in a terrace of condemned buildings. The street is about to be redeveloped by billionaire industrialist Jeroboam Rort who made his fortune from Raubbau, a company that owes its growth to ethically questionable revenue streams. Government scientist Professor Darko Adnazhevsky is onto Raubbau and its attempted cover-ups until he is arrested. An encounter with an unusual street musician whose instrument has the power to connect people with its vibrations leads Sam to discover the primal, healing powers of music. Sam almost squares off with Rort until an omnipresent companion spoils things. In the end what do we have? A man who has been on a journey and reached a destination of sorts, overseen by a narrator who would like to remain angelic but who is as unreliable as he was at the outset.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A Work of Art By A. Allison You realize from the first two-sentence paragraph that Chris Bell's Saccade is an unusual book. By the end of its astonishing first chapter--just three pages-- you know for sure it's a work of art. Each of the remaining short chapters, while playing its part in the intertwined plot, is a faceted gem of deep and playful writing, stunningly beautiful imagery, and crafted observation of and speculation on life with its many complications-- meditations worth re-enjoying. The "obscure" protagonist is Sam Kite. His dilemmas are familiar to us in the here and now (and always): loneliness and the frittering away of his time and talents in a dull daytime job. Without traveling to another continent or another universe, Kite makes a great human journey by following up on a saccade--one of those too easily-overlooked interstices, a vision-that-becomes-real of a Woman in White, herself a most unlikely companion for him-- and thus the surprising story is set to spin. Chapters like "Respite" are more than memorable-- I copied it and put it on my office door. Bell's novel rings true.Alida AllisonSan Diego, California

Chris Bell is a wonderful writer that truly embodies the craft of Wordsmith By Lawrence M Smith Chris Bell is a wonderful writer that truly embodies the craft of Wordsmith. His usage of precise description constructs many reactions in his readers. I enjoyed the book tremendously as his focus on details takes you through many prisms to view his characters. Oft times with very short and precise usage of language not regularly found in today's literature. Highly recommend.
