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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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, <i>Shakespeare and the Macbeths</i>, nothing is sacred. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> This poetic epic is 76 pages, one page short of 77.
