Ryan Bartek - The Big Shiny Prison (Volume One)

'THE BIG SHINY PRISON (Volume One)' a book by Ryan Bartek

'THE BIG SHINY PRISON (Volume One)' is underground journalist Ryan Bartek’s road book/music journalism expose which defies all conventions. 'THE BIG SHINY PRISON' is what Bartek has called his 'Great American Anti-Novel.' This book exists in the territory of Jack Kerouac's 'On The Road,' Henry Miller's 'Tropic of Cancer' and Hunter S. Thompson's “Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas.' This modern version of such writing follows Ryan Bartek as he travels through the American counterculture in 2007, forty years after '1967's Summer of Love.' Bartek reveals a postmodern, dystopian vision of that counterculture over 293 days of travel and face to face interviews with a number of legends in the underground community – even USA president BARACK OBAMA makes a guest appearance!
