On Becoming Yesterday's Actors - Tennison Long - Bog

With his evocative, stylized prose, apocalyptic intensity, and apparent boundless imagination, Tennison Long's fourth and final novel, On Becoming Yesterday's Actors, suggests a scanning of the narrator's mind, a Luddite Gen Xer who sifts through life via varying digressions, while encompassing the differences of more recent generations through a documentarian interspersing of news articles, psycho analysis, historical documents, and observations of his own private surroundings. Under the threat of his child's abduction, along with a mysterious serial killer spree connection, and the disappearance of a local newscaster, this post-modern meta-manifesto is a second half of life analog to digital coming of age story, chronicled within the ambient noise of a turbulent arrival to the gates of an ever-louder and unrelenting tomorrow.
