wow!, 24 Feb 2006

This review is from: Nov York (Paperback)
An exhausting, riveting, raw, poetic tale of a young graffiti writer. Dumar Brown, aka: "NOV", expresses the anguish of (trying to) survive the mighty struggle called LIFE. A tweaked but very real view of the world from a simultaneously inquisitive and cynical mind, that is smashing up against unforgiving, urban reality. Massive props to Mr. Brown for having the skill to capture fleeting thoughts that previously seemed too ephemeral to capture.

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, 2 July 2003

This review is from: Nov York (Hardcover)
This book has been an inspiration to me. Nov is a friend and an independant publisher. I give him much respect for getting this story out there to the public. You should buy one and read it, and then, spread the word to more friends...
Be on the lookout for his new book titled, "NOVURKISTAN",
available at ALIFE-178 orchard street nyc.

So I guess the boy Nov has a mind and a means to express it in writing words not just graffiti. Not too bad & kinda fly & enjoyed the book & word, etc. Good story-telling I know a lot of those locations described in the book from first-hand experience. I like the stream of consciousness, thought processes and some of the word play is on point. Dumar's dialogue is the combination of a Brooklyn/NYC tough-guy (call em like ya see em) mixed with that artsy throw-back Beatnick/Bohemian stee from back in the 60's. Jumble those elements up, add some Dutch Masters and some Rustoleum pounders and now you're cooking with gas. I'd be interested in reading other titles from this author if they exist. I haven't seen any new Pane and MN or Nov on the streets for sometime, wonder if they're all quit.
