"Tony R. Rodriguez is an exciting new writer, raw as an exposed nerve, who prods and probes the dark recesses of the human psyche with excruciating candour. He wrestles with restlessness and the desire for rest, and grapples in life's gutter with the meaning of life."
-Joseph Pearce, author of The Unmasking of Oscar Wilde
"There are writers who pull from places unseen by the rest of us. They find grace in the most mundane things. They find beauty in a dull stone. Then they show it to us. Tony R. Rodriguez is one such writer. He comes across in ways so beautiful, so adept, so wise, they are like a river of prose. There is no such point where one might stutter or halt their breath."
-Lisa Zaran, author of the sometimes girl
"Tony R. Rodriguez crafts his words to make everyday life carry more promise. His characterization and dialogue are brutally honest. They make a reader nod to his eloquent voice."
-Olutayo K. Osunsan, author of Strange Beauty
Madness. Over the span of two months, Rodriguez records each subconscious
moment of his inquisitive dream life. He unravels a journey impregnated with
mad living and the struggles of one preaching a universal faith. On his
enlightened pilgrimage, Rodriguez battles the living dead, struggles through an
engagement, exposes the tumultuous emotions of a man fascinated with a
vivacious lesbian, and questions the roles of men and women in the dating
scenes of today. Rodriguez invites readers to create prophetic bliss whenever
inspiration explodes. His Catholic mysticism follows the same madness as Saint
Augustine and Jack Kerouac. Rodriguez is truly a voice within a generation of
writers seeking a change in Literature.
