Lit for Nothin - Les Cook

Lust, Death, Astral Plane, Work, Travel, Humor.

Taming life, family man. He enjoys influencing 100 grand (creating free time to write) though he knows disharmony may come to light. He returns to British Columbia from his Cambodian home to visit his ruins and solve life traveled. Fights romantic affairs, defends contrary thought, experiments with reality. With a side trips to Venezuela, Peru, Alberta, and the unknown. The roughest magnum opus you'll ever read.

A quick view and very impressed. Philosophical with much insights into the human condition and its foibles.Lots of raw naked honesty minus the usual BS. Great flow with good dialogue inserts spanning a web from your past to the present, Canada and Cambodia lifestyles intertwined. Kind of a prose novel poem with epic themes of tragedy, trust imagination, and cathartic liberation through art.
