About the Book
I don't feel just ranting on the page works anymore, as there's just too much tech pizzazz to be utilized now; for example, Howard Stern rants into the microphone, but he's able to use a circus of sound effects and guest interviews to make it come alive. So instead of just literary freedom movement rhetoric, I provide snapshot characters and dialogue moments to bring home the message, which is, in essence the artist's job. Marcus is the usual main character; along with his wife or girlfriend. He's either a Substitute Teacher, a waiter, commercial painter, delivery driver or an indoor / outdoor Plant Technician. He's in his mid to late twenties, eitherstill attending college or just graduated. He has his Third Eye open, and he's always venting to a friend or wife or girlfriend. From Disneyland to Jim Morrison, technology or the weakness of Indian Writers, Dannov gets In the Ring and means to fight.

In the time he'd first attempted to write this book, he was experimenting with painting, sculpting and drawing. You can see some of his drawing efforts in this book, as they're copies from his journals; framed in black.
