Failing — Michael Brodie. Published by Twin Palms Publishers.
Raw and real images in a sequence that pull you inexorably forward, riding the road with Mike in a Dodge Ram truck, along a highway on the underside of America. Deeply high, and lonesome together. We arrive at death, and yet somehow leave with some hope of deliverance. Keep trying.
