(live-PR.com) - Houston, TX, October 13, 2008 -- Author Michael Sonbert's debut novel, The Never Enders, is gritty, dark and deep-Catcher in the Rye meets Fight Club for a new generation. Due in stores November 2008 on iBooks / Brick Tower Press, The Never Enders is a gripping story from the mind of the ever enthralling Sonbert, a novelist whose dark expeditions
into the world of sex, drugs, and violence, are at once shockingly real and fantastic.
In the tradition of Jim Carroll's The Basketball Diaries comes a tale of a life spinning out of control and getting closer and closer to hitting bottom. Life is dark for Perry Patton, disaffected youth and angry artist, and escape is the name of his game. With his life savings in his pocket, he leaves the home he hates and heads to a city he's ready to despise. But his escape doesn't stop there. Giving himself one week, he's ready to live fast and die soon. But that one week in the urban jungle gives him more than he bargained for.
Life becomes a non-stop rollercoaster when Perry falls in with a group of hard-partying misfits who take his own attitude on life and multiply it by drugs, booze, and violence. Perry is soon swept up in the wild ride of these Never Enders, but not without consequence. The realities of a lifestyle outside the law set in and Perry finds himself with no one to trust an d everything to lose. To engage in The Never Enders is to enter a world of self-destruction, vigilantism, and the worst of urban life. Once you enter, there's only one escape.
With a writing style reminiscent of legends such as Charles Bukowski and Jack Kerouac, Sonbert's literature is the visceral, instinctual kind. As he bleeds his beautifully violent brand of poetic prose onto the page, he creates riveting characters that traverse gripping plotlines that are equal parts lovely, disturbing, psychedelic and pulse pounding. In addition, his distinctive writing style is evident in his music as he is also the vocalist and lyricist for the New York City based band, The Never Enders. The Never Enders hits retailers, including Barnes & Noble, Borders and
Amazon.com, November 2008. For more information on Michael Sonbert or his work, please visit
