Living the Edge: A Slice of Life
by Larry Arena
In possibly a new kind of genre, here is the work of a lifetime condensed. The author has an inquiring, investigating, sometimes original outlook. Despite over half a lifetime of sickness, he has finally produced his wealth of work. For years, the words and feelings lay in his brain pan. Now they are out and down to see the light of day.
He has tried to write things of which great writing and poetry consist. There is the test of re-exposure: will you return to reread this book? Beauty? It found its home here. Uniqueness: perhaps there is no other book quite like this. Is there appreciable depth of perception? A gang of it resides herein. Will this book pass the test of time? Only time itself and the passing of time will tell.
Click on your belt for a vicarious road ride, an up-front read. Taste and enjoy Living the Edge. Even Stephen Crane would say, “Partake of this ‘slice of life’.”
