Gentrification: The Early Works of Ed Wagemann (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781387224203)

The material gathered here was chosen to provide insight into the maturation process of Ed Wagemann as a young American writer in 1990s America. A starving artist who, after finding some early success, struggled to expand his canvas and strive for greater things. Overall, there is an arc of evolution happening in these writings. There is a progression seen in these pieces that reveal the expressions of a young man with something to say. These expressions, which are filtered through the rawness and intensity of youth (and with all the uncomfortable truthful edginess that comes with that territory), create a collection of transmissions from the margins of 1990s American culture which transport the reader back to a time when society had yet to be taken over by the internet and other communication technology. There is a tangible, genuine human warmth emanating from these stories that many of today's writings aspire toward. Thankfully these works are finally being shared with the masses.
