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