Stanton, the writer of the novel, POed: Post Office, A View From Below is talking with the novel's main character, Bo Morgan. Let's listen in: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBo: Nobody's going to read this book.\u003cbr\u003eRJ: You have to have faith, Bo. There's room for our stuff out there.\u003cbr\u003eBo: Yeah, well, you work at the post office for a while and see where your faith ends up. All they want is books by Amy Tan...or J.K. Rowling. People are sick of hearing white guys whine about their lives.\u003cbr\u003eRJ: Not true. They'll want to read about how you tried to do something. How you became a supervisor so you could try to beat an environment that is unlike any other. How you thought you could make a difference. You were the R.P. McMurphy of the post office.\u003cbr\u003eBo: No I wasn't. I didn't win. McMurphy won. He changed people's lives. I lost. \u003cbr\u003eRJ: You know and I know those crazy bastards lives went right back to the way they were a week after McMurphy got his lobotomy. Your story is more realistic. They only life you saved was your own-a modern day hero....You chose yourself over the machine. You won. Your brains weren't whipped into mush. You would have died a metaphorical death if you stayed.\u003cbr\u003eBo: Ahh. I get it. That's the point of your book.\u003cbr\u003eRJ: Yes-the literary importance.\u003cbr\u003eBo: Hmmm. I wouldn't get to high on yourself there, RJ; everybody is going to think it's just a satire. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bobby Stanton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1539708195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781539708193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.45d","brand":"Bobby Stanton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49164126585087,"sku":"9781539708193","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poed-bobby-stanton-9781539708193","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
