This Train: An Artist's Journal

by Tony Fitzpatrick, Alex Kotlowitz (Introduction)

This Train: An Artist's Journal is like no other book written by Mr. Fitzpatrick. Unlike previous works, this book will include both high quality drawing collage images accompanied by corresponding essays produced over a sixteen-month period. Part memoir, part urban narrative, part socio-political commentary, each piece is a deeply personal and intellectual contemplation of a broader American story. Fitzpatrick is without a doubt the contemporary voice of the workingman, following strongly in the tradition of both Nelson Algren and Studs Terkel. This Train: An Artist's Journey is the culmination of a nearly two-year meditation on the ideas and experiences that bind us to this land; it is a treatise on the American view from the bottom up.

[Aurelia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I completely respect the author's viewpoins. Not everyone may agree, but at least his stance is well thought out, clear cut, and sound. I really wish I knew him in person. He would be the one guy who could teach me to stand up for myself and speak.
