War of the Words

In this illustrated post-post modern poetic epic, the author takes on Mind Control Central in a battle for nothing less than the reader’s brain. The story moves through a series of puns, pop cultural references and vignettes at a sometimes dizzying pace in an attempt to make sense out of the modern world. Frema Sonne, Mary-Virginia, Pains Bonds and you, the reader are but some of the cast members. In a story that includes a boy tripping on his parent’s acid; and a live performance by the hair band, Shakespeare and the Macbeths, nothing is sacred. Perhaps most objectively the tale of the author going insane, it seems at times that he is determined to take the entire readership with him. The epic is short enough to be read in one sitting, but like Finnegan’s Wake true understanding only comes after total and repetitive emersion. This poetic epic is 76 pages, one page short of 77.
