| Omschrijving | Fantasy - Gene Anderson is born in Oregon to a carpenter and his wife after WWII. As a child, he discovers the strange ability to reach into alternate universes, thereby enabling him to 'copy' things, such as the ever-handy cash. Gene is an outcast at school because of his larger-than-normal size, and ends up on the road by himself at the age of nine after the accidental death of a small-town bully. The bully's father, the local sheriff, chases Gene for revenge for most of the rest of his life.
Gene studies art, writes poetry, and copies enough diamonds to make himself super-rich. After a life in SoHo with an artist, then a career as a giant (he reaches eight and a half feet) in the circuses of America and Europe, the wealthy Gene retires to a private compound in Florida, from which he decides to embark on a short career as the new Messiah, with predictable results. |
