I put thousands of hours into it. Even if you might find the
story goofy, you should read it. It's very heavy on dialog, and
the characters have distinct voices. Rock 'n Roll is mentioned
repeatedly, starting in the first chapter.

Let's get you some takers then, have you got a link to purchase it
from?

But I've wondered on more than one occasion why this Pulitizer prize >winning novel has not been published? It has been submitted, but
rejected or he's afraid of rejection? I'm sure a rant-filled,
insulting, and lewd reply from him would straighten them out pronto.

Is that troll still trying to suck up to Bryan? I know it's working
with dsi1. Either dsi1's ego's so big that he loves it regardless who
it's coming from or he's very lonely.

Funny ol' thing innit...
One guy posts the most professional looking food pics and cultural
narratives out here - by far.
The other cooks a mean steak up and is the forum paragon of frugality.
...then there are the endless trolls and whiners...like YOU!

Master, when is the last time you've had your ego checked?

The journey of humility and surrender not only dissolves the
obstruction caused by the ego but also awakens us to the realisation of
who is the true doer and enjoyer of all actions.

I've been worried that your cranium may burst soon.
