The Ascent of a Barbarious Court Squatter (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781463708986)

The Ascent of a Barbarious Court Squatter is an autobiographical novel that illuminates how to tackle adversity within, regardless of external thwarts or realities. The author internally resolves his plight of a romantic celibate. Famed Criminal Defense Attorney Tony Serra praises The Ascent..." It is brilliant, articulate, full of much psychology, sociology, many aphorisms, and like being sprinkled with LSD!" Part metaphysical discussion, The Ascent... delves into unique spin on persona theory. Four funny personas vie for dominion over the Self. Particular characters inside us are better suited to tackle various existential dilemmas than others. Jacque D'Artichoke, G-d, The Eghost, and Sir Arthur Stackerazz engage in a rhetorical bout, with rebuttals, for humanity's first, second, third best, and worst opportunity to champion consciousness. These personas offer a game plan to steamroll the readers' peskiest problems. Prosper with little need for external, emotional validation! Learn to liberate your life within your "interior bubble!" The Ascent... also discusses how humans tackle adversity with a social conscience, analytical spirituality, and spatial aesthetics. The novel is entertaining as well as enlightening: Tennis and surfing are contrasted on the merits with a surprising conclusion! D'Artichoke has reason to believe his tennis nemesis might go cannibal on him. Win front-row highlights of Jacque's cocky, tennis odyssey gone kerflooie! The Ascent's...true adventures are often amongst the most bizarre: In law school, 30 pairs of Jacque's briefs are "lifted" from the rejuvenating laundry after his redhead neighbor discovers a purple bell pepper...The good-natured wrath of Supreme Court Justice Kennedy is conjured when D'Artichoke falls asleep...Jacque experiences his flashy tennis coach before and after his coach becomes a convicted, armed robber... Picture NORTH BEACH, S.F., like no other scintillation! Those purely fictional vignettes of the novel are brazen: Engage in hypothetical conversations with inanimate monoliths, Coit Tower and Mount Tamalpais! When D'Artichoke forces a truth serum down his psychiatrist's throat, harvest keen insights regarding human strengths and shortcomings. "Browsers show up in North Beach for the controlled thrill of out-maneuvering misadventure... Ralphed, two buck chuck settles unevaporated and putrid. A foot away, a knit couple noshes on oven roasted calzone."
