"We're On the Road to HUMATERNITY" (book review)

"We're on the Road to HUMATERNITY" is a fusion of story-telling, philosophical mini-essays, and poetry. From the innovative author of Weird Voyage Loveward, An Ode to Id and e-epic An Ode to Jack Kerouac: every piece is well-written, and much of it's profoundly controversial.

The book features stories like The Sparrows of Thailand, Remembrances of Sweden and Red Goblin Saves the World, a witty and brutal satire of the comics movie industry. It features poems like Atheistic Blossoms, A Few Highku, Francis Ford Coppola in the Jungle, and An Ode to HUMATERNITY (a term the author coined and a spirit he expresses eloquently.)

Also included are a number of philosophical and political mini-essays discussing subjects from the million Iraqis believed to have died in the last war to citizen rights to mind-alteration to patient rights to humane suicide. Diverse in form and subject, the book is tied together by a spirit of beat rebellion: a fierce insistence of placing experience and art over conformity and money-making.

Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady would have been proud.
