BUZZ
A novel by Robert Zverina
Paperback: 116 pages
ISBN 1480045608
BUZZ is a dark but brilliant story. It
raises the question of whether you can be
somewhere yet not be there at all—the moon, a
neighborhood in New York City, a country or even
a life. It shows us human experience through the
distorted lenses of space suits, technology,
totalitarianism, immigration, wealth, poverty
and alcoholism. It also shows us brief moments
when those distorted lenses are pulled away and
we’re forced to glimpse reality in both
beautiful and horrifying ways. Buzz could also
be seen as a metaphor for America’s (and
Humanity’s) two hundred year binge on
technology, alcohol, drugs and wealth and what
happens when that binge finally comes to an end.
If you like Milan Kundera, Franz Kafka, Ralph
Ellison, Sylvia Plath, Henry Miller or Flannery
O’Connor, you’ll like this book. It is superbly
written.
