Astara is Born is a Horatian satiric surf on the wave of the 1980s New Age zeitgeist in Hollywood at the onset of the indie filmmaking era. Astara's romp through the rogues clinging onto the dream motif of the Hollywood Sign in the hills above her sublet tests her heroic quest to become the writer, star, director and producer of her own movie. The result is an original contemporary picaresque literary style presenting a new type of heroine making a conscious choice of a Self-determined destiny over fate by way of taking back the fuel that runs Hollywood: psychic projections. Astara's relentless pursuit of Self-mastery authoring a keen observer of time and place elevates metafiction into a quantum narrative of unlimited potentialities for personal and universal evolution. The current collapse of Hollywood just may establish this timely release as signifier for a paradigm leap, inviting the reader as participant in Astara's literal transfiguration of written prose into the visual medium of film. This book presents a key question to its reader/ participants: could the novel be revived for the quantum era by way of adapting Don Quijote as inspiration?
