Lack of Appeal

Race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, and disability. *** Alex is exhausted. Professional ideology has worn into cynicism as he struggles to maintain his family and sanity. Told in a cinematic style, Lack of Appeal explores two days, moment-by-moment, in the life of a municipal government complaint investigator. The public and the private sectors converge with such intensity that it’s difficult to find any semblance of justice or resolution. Is Alex in control of the idealism or is the idealism in control of Alex?Self-absorbed, personal memoir; objective (and objectified) expose on some civil rights, and "civil rights;" a descent into madness; and, with some lighter, humorous, and human touches along the way, this is a defining civil rights novel for the 21st Century.
