Featured Author
This winter, Basementia™ is proud to announce the release of a fantastic new book: Small Plastic Summer: A Novel, the debut work by local Pacific Northwest author T. Gate Elton.
Elton's self-described "fictionalized manifesto" follows its characters on personal journeys of love, spirituality, grief and triumph; and their inner striving is externally expressed through a series of competitions in the local FoosBall League. The time-honored game of FoosBall itself takes on new, deeper meanings, as Elton builds his story to its beer-soaked climactic competitive event and resolves the tale in masterful allegorical realism.
When Adam unexpectedly finds himself involved in a local Foosball League, he is surprised that this simple game begins to reconnect him with the humanity, both loving and savage, that had been buried in a heart he had kept numb to all but his wife.
In the course of the Summer that follows, Adam will face off in plastic warfare against his friends and demons and ultimately gain a clear understanding of how Foosball holds the key to life's simplest truths.
Full of memorable characters, ridiculous situations, and an inordinate amount of Foosball; this deeply relevant, highly modern work is witty, philosophical, and at times romantic.
Small Plastic Summer is now available online from Basementia Publications.
