Riffs from New Id

by William Zink

Ohio author William Zink has cut short his book tour for Ballad of the Confessor, and will focus his efforts toward a George Bush defeat in this fall's election. Riffs From New Id contains dialogues, syllogisms, sonnets, and Thomas Paine-like entreaties. Comparing Bush to Judas might raise some eyebrows; however, when a few pages later he makes the even more stunning comparison of our nation's citizens to Pontius Pilate, the reader will be assured that Zink plays no favorites. A book targeted for undecided voters, Riffs From New Id may prove to be the final persuasion for those who take time to ponder its multi-faceted reasoning.
