About The Bosch Kanal
Experimental speculative fiction blends fractured memory, robots, philosophy, dark humor, and surreal visions across interconnected stories.
Author C. Jervey Hatcher announces the release of The Bosch Kanal: Or, Theories on Robot Harmonics, an unconventional work of speculative fiction now available on Amazon.
The Bosch Kanal unfolds in a strange, shifting world where memory, machines, philosophy, and imagination keep running into one another. Across four connected pieces, C. Jervey Hatcher follows characters who are trying to make sense of what is real, what may only be remembered, and what might exist just beyond ordinary understanding.
The book begins with “Frank,” an aging man whose memories drift between a motorcycle accident, family, scientific ideas, invented technology, personal loss, and something he simply calls “The War.” From there, the book moves into the Bosch Kanal, an unusual version of Venice filled with giant fish, laboratories, strange technologies, assassinations, and competing ideas about science, belief, and existence.
Robots and artificial intelligence play an important role, especially through Oohan, a machine who begins to question his purpose, his creator, and even whether he is capable of genuine thought. The final section, “A Crux: The Inquest of Cornelius Hogbauer,” becomes even more personal and introspective, bringing together doubt, mortality, perception, and the strange ways people decide what to believe.
