Hey folks! I just want to you all an alert
about the new book I just published and released, entitled, Bottom Feeder
and the Rise of the Mealy Men. I know the title sounds a bit strange, but
here’s what it’s about!
Bottom Feeder and the Rise of the Mealy Men is the gritty story of Franky, an educated,
middle-class, Afro-American man who loses everything and has to eke out a new
life on the mean and unforgiving streets of New York City. The saga itself
would be a typically tragic one, were it not for the colorful characters he
meets along the way, as well as the nail-biting escapades he undergoes in his
efforts to adjust to the newfound environment he is suddenly thrusted into.
Franky is also constantly on the run from a
group of vicious and very vindictive, Dominican drug lords, who were now
scouring the city to find and serve justice upon him, as well as from NYPD
Officer Clancey. Ever since Officer Clancey busted him sleeping in the confines
of Shult Park early one morning, he’s made it his personal business to catch
Franky in some act of violation of the law and to bring him to overdue justice.
In addition to this, there are repeated
reminders of his ultimate failure. To his dismay, he keeps running into the
very conspicuous commercial posters of The Mealy Men. The Mealy Men, Vagabond
Joe and Broken Glass are two television superstars, who stole his
original ideas about hosting major poetry events and staged spoken word
performances. Franky’s frequent encounters with these billboards only serves to
exacerbate his growing dissatisfaction with his own life’s predicament.
Although, Bottom Feeder and the Rise of the
Mealy Men is a rollercoaster ride of absurdities and a mockery of what was
once Franky’s contented life, it also provides some insights into his personal
philosophy about the nature of reality, as well as raising the question about
the very meaning of being.
It is a story mingled with hope and tragedy.
Perhaps it is a tale which may cause one to take a second look at the next
homeless person they encounter sleeping on the sidewalk of New York.
I encourage you all to check it out! Here are
