[Sic] [Paperback]

Sean Landers (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 1995

In his own words, Landers shows readers the world through his eyes, all misspellings intact. Through fame and misfortune, God and art, life and death, Landers leaves no anger unenjoyed, no sacred ground untrod, and no standing rule unbroken. Raw, eloquent and compulsively readable, (sic) is a daring and original book.

A different book altogether. Very original. The signed copy that I bought in 1993 says it's an edition of 250, so it should be impossible to find by now. The only problem I have with it is that Landers intentionally sets out to write a diary for public viewing, which at times makes me wonder how much of this was scripted instead of de facto stream-of-consciousness. But it is well worth the read.

...or can navigate a stream of consciousness, give this book a peek (if you can find it). Came looking for this book as a gift for a friend only to find that it's out of print (rats). I thought this was quite a remarkable read (never saw a story done in handwriting-like font). And as naked as he is on the cover, Sean gives us a raw look into his life. Definitely not organized or logical (who's life is?) but often entertaining, sometimes insighful, and a difficult though revealing look into one guy's life. Recommended if you're looking for something different...
