the heart of the beast
"HEART OF THE BEAST" by Jim Marquez: A Man In His 20s In Love? A Man In His 30s in Love? HA! Who knows? You know what? Don't Even Buy This Book...This is Jim Marquez's 9th self-published book in 4 years! An amazing output of work & passion in words. This small "collection of love stories" is not what it seems. Dark, graphic, a need in human nature at its most basic. In the frightening tradition of early "Miller" & "Bukowski" Jim has publishd his finest work...Jim is also Senior Writer for "CITIZEN LA", a monthly arts & culture magazine out of Downtown Los Angeles.
