‘Last winter I became fed up with the incarnation of evil showing up in my nightmares and decided to do the opposite of what it expected.’

American author A.F. Knott lives in England and now focuses his elaborately colorful life on writing and collage art. After college his jobs are as varied as a kaleidoscope - he worked in Louisiana's offshore oil industry, a parking lot attendant, lunch deliverer, thoroughbred handicapper, paper broker, cyclotron engineer, PET operator, and family physician! Enough experiences there to supply an entire library of books!

But that is one of the many reasons Knott’s skill in writing is so intoxicating – his rich imagination tinged with sensitivity to social issues, mind alterations, dreams, nightmares, and the raw flavors of Southern Gothic humor and terror. Another attribute is Knott’s unique, flavorful writing technique – he writes in short chapters punctuated with conversations alternating with the main characters thoughts, cleverly placed on the page in italics.

The plot may at first seem like vignettes or disconnected moments, but keep the eye on the page and it all flows together to allow us entry into a susceptible eleven year old lad’s perception of his world – real and imagined.

The author supplies a nod to a synopsis – ‘Hidden in the mountains of East Tennessee, an eleven-year old goes about the business of being a boy during the summer of 1970. Within a balance of terror and innocence, he bears silent witness to ghosts of the dead and the cruelties of a teenage killer while local justice plays out in a community carved from legacies of coal mining and religion.’

A taste: ‘I pulled the shade down and listened to my mother. She was speaking about Uncle Andy. When he was my age, he had a dog that foamed at the mouth. ‘Everywhere that dog went, Andy would follow him.” “Why did he follow him?” “I don’t know why. Every single day after school he followed him, repeating his name. I heard him saying it: Ramonst, Ramonst, Ramonst, Ramonst, Ramonst. For months this went on.” Ramonst did not sound like a dog’s name to me, so I asked if she was sure about that. “Yes, Ramonst. That’s the name he gave him. Repeated it over and over and over and over and over. One day Andy came home from school and started in on the dog, but Ramonst didn’t move. He sat in the hallway staring at Andy then started foaming at the mouth. Mother had Ramonst shot, and they sent his brain over to the University of Tennessee. After running all the tests they still didn’t know what caused Ramonst’s foaming.” I couldn’t stop thinking about Ramonst after my mother told me that. Even though she said they never found out what caused the foaming, I asked: “What do you think caused Ramonst’s foaming at the mouth?” My mother spoke quickly. “I think Ramonst couldn’t take all that is what I think. Dear Lord, every day I’d hear him saying it: Ramonst, Ramonst, Ramonst, Ramonst, Ramonst. I would foam too.”

This novel is pure diversion, in the most complimentary sense of that term. AK Knott makes us want to read more.

Discuss Based On Books Ramonst

Ramonst is full of events when a family gets together and visits Nana in East Tennessee. A. F. Knott is a creative author as he writes as a young boy of eleven remember a summer full of interesting events. Rodneys summer was full of trouble, some he initiated other was brought on by his cousin, Clyde. Clyde was mentally unstable, anything could cause him to come unhinged.  Rodney knows that he is coming of age and finds the girl he likes has a crush on him.  I found Ramonst humorous,

Ramonst is a nostalgic and endearing book written in the hand of a 11 year old boy Rodney. Rodney is mature for his age and immensely aware of the adult world. He therefore shares his opinions and thoughts in a childlike yet adult manner that shocks us but also keeps us interested to know what all this little mind had absorbed. The book reminds us that somethings remain unchanged down the ages such as sympathy, love, cruelty, gossip and terror. Although the book is written by an 11 year old boy,

Excellent fiction novel but based on a true story. The author has displayed great humor throughout the book and made it as a very clever story to read. Little over 200 pages, so a good read without getting bored. The author has done a great job of quoting informational points as part of the story. Just to mention few, in the first chapter, why an airplane window has two panes and in the second chapter about three monkeys putting their hands over ears, eyes and mouth etc. The author has done a

Ramonst by A.F. Knott is a cleverly constructed novel written in an almost conversational manner. Before you know it, you are pulled into the story. Eleven year old Rodney is quite the character, full of observations about life in his small town. Taking place in east Tennessee, this story is a mash up of anecdotes, hillbilly knowledge and wit and wisdom of the South. Creepy actions take place, the killing of cats and other atrocities are often fleshed out as normal, but leave a huge impression

Having Ramonst written from the point of an 11 year old gave a fresh take to a novel steeped in difficult social issues. Having said that I think it carries off the premise extremely well, and adds an element of innocence that might not have been as packed with emotion if written in third person. There were some surprises along the way I hadnt foreseen, and I was engaged right until the very end, which can be quite rare with many books these days.A F Knott is an accomplished writer, no doubt,

Ramonst by A.F. Knott is an unusual book. It is unusual because it is told through the eyes of an 11-year-old boy named Rodney who has a crazy memory and is super perceptive. Unfortunately, his extended family is from the sort of backwoods Tennessee ultra-religious towns where the truth often gets twisted. When he visits one summer, he sees things no child should ever see. As a reader, it can be difficult to read because you remember his age, but the author has given the character maturity far

Knott certainly has a talent for writing a dark and unorthodox piece of art. The biggest thing that stood out to me was the characters. Each one, though not entirely unique, had their own orchestrated and tortured story that really made the plot and writing come alive. With that being said, the storys plot was entirely dependent on the characters. It felt a lot like the characters made the story, rather than the characters being conditioned by circumstance. This isnt a bad thing, just a very
