MINNEAPOLIS, December 17, 2023 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Delirious Walrus has announced the upcoming release of updated editions for "The Sage Chronicles," a literary series distinguished for its innovative storytelling. These new editions, featuring revamped covers, are scheduled for release on December 20th, 2023, and aim to attract a broader readership with enhanced narrative elements.

The series' first installment, "The Way Beyond: The Life and Times of Halcyon Sage," is leading this new wave of releases. The book has garnered attention for its unique literary style, with BlueInk Review applauding its "stirring immediacy," Foreword Reviews praising its "deliciously funny fiction," and Kirkus Reviews likening it to "mid-1960s postmodernism." The updated edition, which has undergone substantial revisions, is intended to refine the storytelling experience and improve accessibility for readers. The ISBN for the revised edition is 978-1-7334288-4-2, and the eISBN is 978-1-7334288-7-3.

Ahead of the re-release, author Jim Partlow has described "The Way Beyond" as an exploration of "whimsical adventure" with layers of "deep religious and political reflection."

"The Book of Squidly Light," the series' second book scheduled for an early 2024 release, aims to build upon the narrative established in the first book. This sequel, previously recognized as a May 2020 featured pick by the American Library Association’s Booklist Magazine, is anticipated to deepen the thematic elements of "The Sage Chronicles." The author has commented on the progression from the first book to the second, stating, "If 'The Way Beyond' is a square, then 'The Book of Squidly Light' is a cube." The ISBN for this edition is 978-1-7334288-5-9, and the eISBN is 978-1-7334288-8-0.

Complementing these main titles is "Sage's Multiverse Mini-Series," published on November 30, 2020. This collection, which encompasses short stories, mini-novels, poetry, interviews, and diaries, adds variety and depth to the series. Its ISBN is 978-1-7334288-35-5, with an eISBN of 978-1-7334288-66-6.

The visual redesign of the series has been entrusted to Richard Ljoenes, an award-winning design artist responsible for the new covers. His work, alongside interior graphics from B.C. Hatch, is expected to enhance the reader's engagement with the narrative.

"The Sage Chronicles" series continues to offer a blend of diverse characters and realities, providing readers with both entertainment and food for thought.
