Anatomical Sketches of the Misunderstood: a scientific guide to surviving, in numbered slides

More about the book

Aphoristic Variations Volume II of IIIEclecticism defines the work of prolific author Joseph D. Reich. This trilogy is a cross-genre exploration plumbing the depths of human growth and development. This psychological pain diary of surreal stanzas overflows with hard-hitting aphorisms. Reich's stream-of-consciousness invective illuminates every crooked facet of the American Dream, recalling Henry Miller's venomous take on this country as an "Air-Conditioned Nightmare."Reich aims to uncover and heal the profound damage, pain, and loss which life inflicts on the ever-suffering soul of modern man. He leaves no stone unturned, touching upon family dysfunction, abnormal psychology, parapsychology, existentialism, linguistics, and the psycho-dynamics of the fragile human condition.The absurdity of this country's increasingly nihilistic social landscape is Reich's poetic tapestry. His missives are equally tinted by philosophy and sociology, creating a surrealistic guide that is sure to strike a chord with both cynics and optimists, or simply anyone--which is to say everyone--leading lives of "quiet desperation."
