Reviews of my latest novel What the Hell Ever Happened to Yuri Rozhenko?

– “This book is so good I bought copies to give to friends!”

– “These characters and situations could be real and are relatable to anybody who has ever had to struggle through the daily grind.”

– “Pure punk aesthetic. Reminiscent of the Beats, minus the misogyny.”

– “The author writes from the heart, and it takes me back to my youth with a smile.”

And then…

“I was never really able to understand punks. It never made sense to me to be so wrapped up in the intense dogma surrounding what amounts to a cultural contrivance. In other words, being a ‘punk’ in itself was a conscious choice, not something one was born into. The sense of marginalization that came along with that choice was direct consequence of that decision.”

Whelp! Can’t win ’em all I guess. (Though it’s not actually a criticism of the book but rather a diatribe about punk culture in general.)
