An undiscovered author's attempts to get published are pushed to the extreme in this bittersweet saga that takes not only a satirical look at the publishing industry, but also examines the elusive nature of The American Dream.Described as Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance meets Charles Manson, The End of Fiction chronicles the travels and travails of Ukiah Rhymes, a streetwise philosopher-poet who engages in a David vs. Goliath struggle to get his name in print. Combining an unflinching realism, naive idealism and an obsessive attempt to put everything in its proper order, Victor Thorn ultimately exposes the frustrations and comedic mishaps common to every person trying to make their dreams a reality.
