Böcker av Kirk Andersen

The book is a telling of the work-a-day dreary lives of Americans: wards of the state, small-time money-grubbers, high school pranksters, simpleton geniuses--the ones nullified and canceled by their culture, society, and country--the ones affected by the political climates of the day only wanting to achieve some form of happiness and stability in their lives. They search for it in the various corners and niches their society has left for them and discover the interesting surprises that lay there. It is a Chronicle of American Life and the surveys and Scams that go along with it.In Kirk Andersen's second book, he has written what he feels are slices of American Life. Stories that portray normal people and their experiences in Modern America. The stories could be looked upon as social justice literature but are really just a narrative of the way things are or could be.

The poetry and writings of an outsider is a collection of poetry and short fiction as well as some autobiographical sketches from an author living on the outside of society. Never fully integrated into his society, he feels like he has always been on the outside looking in and his stories are a reflection of that. The stories range from Orwellian science fiction to juvenile and fairy tales and a variety of personas in the poetry. Written as a rebellion and backlash against the literary publications of the day and their refusal to publish his work, the book has four categories: poetry, short stories, short shorts, and slice-of-life vignettes. It is a personal testament of the author and his life on the fringes of society.
