5.0 out of 5 stars CLOSER THAN "CLOSE"..., August 31, 2004

By	Anthony St James (Bklyn NY) - See all my reviews

I read a book this weekend by fellow Brooklynite Vic Fortezza, and I was moved to the extent that I had to write this review. I'm not going to get into specifics, but believe me, this book reads as a deeply personal recollection and almost painfully honest self-analysis of the storyteller's psyche. I write songs as a hobby, and even in that medium, I doubt that I could ever hang everything out there for people to "see" the way that this author does (in his very first book!)--But therein lies the fascination...almost to the point of being spellbinding. I'm now in the process of looking into Mr. Fortezza's shorter literary endeavors, and I'll be on the lookout for his next full-length title. Please do read this!
