About the Character:

Khlorinda Sofronia Darwah, is a beautiful Palestinian Rai music Chaba singer performing in nightclubs in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv with whom Orlando Tasso falls uncontrollably in love and who also infatuates Jack Sartorius, leading the two into conflict. Defying her crass and materialistic mother who is pushing her into loveless marriage for money, she throws herself in dispair into a terrorist conspiracy organized through Mustafa to set off a nuclear device in Jerusalem concealed in a visiting Chinese Terracotta Warrion and to take former Presidents Carter and Clinton hostage as human shields to prevent American/Israeli retaliatory attacks on Iran, all of which unknown to her are all part of a grand conspiracy to enable the Triple Axis of China, Russia and Iran to seize the oilfields of Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the Middle-East, thus dominating the Eurasian and world balance of power and giving a knockout blow to the delining West. She is invited by Jack to sing at the Jerusalem telethon for the  United Nations Parliamentary Assembly in Teddy Stadium and then takes part in the hostage taking, flying with the hostage takers and captives to Iran where she,  Sartorius and Mohammad meet the Supreme Leader in the underground nuclear facilities at Qom. She is present when her friend Mohammad, writer and Sufi novice, reads his Dostoyevskian story to the Supreme Leader: “The Parable of the Supreme Leader and the Three Messiahs”.

About the Character:

Tiresias/Teresa, is a bi-sexual nightclub singer and female-impersonator Sartorius encounters at the Club Paradiso in Mexico City while looking for Maria. He/She introduces Sartorius to the Teatro Magico—The Magic Theater–For Madmen Only! and accompanies him on some of his surreal adventures in the Psychoplex there, involving their defeat of the Lord Death from the Popul Vuh, incarnation as an Aztec Emperor and Sartorius’ incarnation as the master lover of all women. Tiresias serves as a guide into the more surreal and nether regions of human experience. Sartorius’ alcoholic and drug induced binge in Mexico City while contemplating suicide on his 50th birthday while on leave from a conference promoting a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly ends in a ménage-a-trois involving Maria and Teresa before he finally finds himself. Tiresias echoes the role of the blind seer and guide in the Odyssey’s Hades.

About the Character:

Pari Kasiwar, of India is the South Asia coordinator for the Campaign for a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly.  He and Sartorius have deep discussions about the emergence of World Literature and Indian Literature as Sartorius prepares his book on the subject. Pari and his girlfriend Jennie Zheng relate their experience of partly growing up cross-culturally as young Asian-Americans in the USA in Book One. Initially a rationalist athiest, and humorous advocate of free love and free living,  rejecting the pop-saccharine spirituality of Indian tradition, he later is drawn to new forms of spirituality as he introduces Jennie to Indian culture, spirituality and the sexuality of the Kama Sutra. In the wake of the global shock of a terrorist nuclear detonation in Jerusalem, they pursue their maturing spiritual growth and interests together within the Global Progressive Spiritual Alliance, culminating in their founding as spiritual soulmates an Ashram at the Dal Lake embracing “The New Kama Sutra of the Spirit” at the end of Book Two.

About the Character:

Mohammad Ala Rushdie,  is an Egyptian former Cambridge student who with Mustafa heads the Mid-East section of the Campaign for a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly.  Taking a spiritual turn in life, he becomes a mystic, novice and dervish in a Sufi order operating a Meditation Centre in London, all while under the surveillance of British MI5/MI6 and the CIA as a falsely suspected terrorist. True to his spiritual calling he resists the attractions of Rock Superdiva Isis who frequents the Sufi Centre.

In Book II he is taken hostage with Sartorius in Jerusalem and held as a human shield in Iran’s underground nuclear processing facilities outside Qom and then goes on to participate in the epic Quest to Middle Earth and beyond for the Missing Seed Crystal, the Silmaril in the Crystal Bead Game needed to save humanity. He is also a writer, and while in captivity is invited to read his story “The Parable of the Supreme Leader and the Three Messiahs” to Iran’s Supreme Leader, which contributes to the Supreme Leader’s change of heart, his embracing of  “opening the Gates of Ijtihad” as part of the new Islamic Renaissance, Reformation and Enlightenment,  and his abandonment of the Triple Axis Conspiracy with Russia and China to seize the Middle-Eastern oil deposits in Saudi Arabia.  At the end of Book Two following the nuclear terrorist catastrophe in Jerusalem, following his Sufi calling, he joins Mother Isis and the Global Progressive Spiritual Alliance in their quest for nurturing a universal global spiritual rebirth.
