The poems unmask the false values of our work-world. Berecka's voice is not that of a lazy, jerk-off kid, but a man, now in his sixties, who has played the game with ironic, rebellious effort, in the spirit of Camus' rebel hero, perhaps even approaching the societal-resistance of Melville's Bartleby. But Berecka writes with damn-fine humor, and his work is always graced with his self-effacing style and redeemed by his soul-affirming humanity. - Ken Hada, author of \u003cem\u003eContour Feathers\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 06, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51777489338656,"sku":"9781733888288","price":16.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/ef206220a516979665b019f48687b536.webp?v=1780499737","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/a-living-is-not-a-life-a-working-title-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
