Windmills
Windmills by Doug Dunston, published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform on November 25, 2013, is a literary fiction work that explores the life of Till Eulen, who finds himself at a crossroads in the small town of Trujas, New Mexico. As the owner of a struggling bookshop named Windmills, Till grapples with his solitary middle age and the challenges of running a business in a community where reading seems scarce. His routine is disrupted when his car breaks down, leading to an unexpected encounter with Mari and her friend Norah, which sets off a series of events that change his perspective on life and community.
In this narrative, readers will follow Till as he navigates his new relationships and the unfolding drama of Trujas, including his reluctant involvement in the town’s community theater auditions. The story delves into themes of connection, creativity, and the unexpected ways in which life can unfold. As Till’s dusty bookshop transforms into a hub for a local literary movement, the characters around him challenge his preconceived notions about literature and community. This edition, comprising 216 pages, is presented in English and invites readers to reflect on the intersections of personal ambition and communal ties.
Official synopsis Publisher
Till Eulen, facing a solitary middle age, doesn’t think Trujas, New Mexico is where he wants to be. His bookshop, Windmills, isn’t doing well, not that he had ever expected it to. It was in homage to Don Quixote that he had named it Windmills, acknowledging the unlikelihood of any bookshop’s success in a small town where, to Till’s eyes anyhow, no one seemed to read. Till’s world tilts the day his car breaks down outside of Trujas. Cold, needy, and befuddled when Mari and her friend Norah arrive to rescue him, he inadvertently hires Norah-young, pierced, tattooed, definitely not Till’s idea of a book person-to work part-time in his store. Thrown off balance by what he has just done, Till in the next moment finds himself accepting Mari and Norah’s invitation to judge auditions for the town’s upcoming community theater production. Over the coming weeks, Till finds himself increasingly wrapped up in Trujas melodrama while his dusty, book-lined shop becomes home to a Trujas-style literary movement.
