Forty-Five Minutes of Unstoppable Rock

Rate this book
An unadulterated look inside the lives of those hardest hit by the Great Recession, Steve Passey shows with great clarity that when all else fails, it’s our relationships that keep us afloat, even if we’re drifting to nowhere. Narrators shaped by the generation decaying around them proclaim an era where the Business of Bad News is the norm, and the only escape is trying to find solace in the familiarity of everyday life. Relatable in their unique contentment with the bottom of the barrel, these characters form the most intimate bonds through conversations held in the marginal spaces of the American Dream.

Who is Steve Passey ???

Idk
It’s published in Chicago Illinois, but supposedly it’s a local read for Lethbridge ALBERTA

I’m wondering if it’s just a sticker that’s put on it at chapters and put the book there

Steve Passey

Sounds like he’s sober up in writing his meaning of getting sober

That’s the only thing I can think about

I don’t know who Steve Passey is


I’m cheering if he’s sober

Cause I think it’d be messed up if he wasn’t writing of the was messed up.

Listening to the soundtrack that he’s that has chosen for me to read his book

Makes me keep on asking who Steve Passey is…

Excellent literary journey along with a few down-but-not-out folks. 'Indolence and Rhyme' my favorite. As well as 'Black Dog' (poor ol' doggy). Go strong Steve!
