Dark Glasses (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The author's given name is Dan Hendrickson. As a young adult, he opted to pull on a pair of prescription sunglasses and adopt another name: Henry Rifle.That worked well enough, but only up to a point. Under that name, he wrote and self-published four books of poetry (Shooting Gallery, Bullet Train, A Bullet West and Ballistics Report). Hendrickson, on the other hand, has only written (Slacker!) The Portland Stories (also self-published), a book of short fiction.That collection was originally titled Clean Shorts.

Hendrickson is now middle-aged, with a blizzard gray beard. He's a sedate and meditative fellow, one prone to introspection. Henry Rifle is probably a little more fun, but by turns morose, often bordering on maudlin.

About life, Hendrickson will only say "Over time, our borders are erased." He likes Gordon Sumner, Milo Bloom and Georgia O'Keeffe. He lives in the Twin Cities and is married with two children. He's also aware that 'granite carrot' sounds phallic in nature. He honestly doesn't care.

Autorenporträt

Often referred to as 'The Dramamine Pirate,' Dan Hendrickson is a comic, screenwriter and poet, who lives in Minneapolis. Comedy Album is the modestly-awaited follow-up effort to 2017's Dark Glasses. Prior to that, Hendrickson authored and self-published a handful of works comprised mostly of experimental poetry and slapdash philosophy, under the pseudonym Henry Rifle. He describes those off-the-cuff, under the radar efforts (Shooting Gallery, Bullet Train, A Bullet West and Ballistics Report) as 'poetry for people who can't stand poetry.' Whereas those early collections were largely comprised of casual bon mots and barbed bonbons, Dark Glasses was a balanced meal; a comedic examination of politics, absurdity, current events and personal identity. As for this effort (Comedy Album), it's a blast of pure seltzer; an old-fashioned kick in the seat of the pants. "What I wanted to do was make a comedy album, like my heroes, Bob Newhart and Richard Pryor," Hendrickson says. "But what I didn't want to do was have to rent a microphone and a speaker. Technology depresses me-and I'm sure as hell not made out of money." Hendrickson's musings, video clips, long-winded digressions and more still can be found at dan-hendrickson.com.
