No Birds Sing Here
No
Birds Sing Here
by
Daniel V. Meier Jr.
Genre:
Satirical Literary Fiction
Satire
at its best!
In
this indelible and deeply moving portrait of our time, two young
people, Beckman and Malany set out on an odyssey to find meaning and
reality in the artistic life, and in doing so unleash a barrage of
humorous, unintended consequences.
Beckman
and Malany's journey reflects the allegorical evolution of humanity
from its primal state, represented by Beckman's dismal life as a
dishwasher to the crude, medieval development of manking in a pool
hall, and then to the false but erudite veneer of sophistication of
the academic world.
The
world these protagonists life in is a world without love. It has
every other variety of drive and emotion, but not love. Do they know
it? Not yet. And they won't until they figure out why no birds sing
here.
Meier's
writing is precise and detailed, whether the situation he describes
is clear or ambiguous.
Fans of Franzen and Salinger will find
Meier to be another sharp, provocative writer of our time.
A
retired Aviation Safety Inspector for the FAA, Daniel V. Meier, Jr.
has always had a passion for writing. During his college years, he
studied History at The University of North Carolina Wilmington and
American Literature at The University of Maryland Graduate School. In
1980 he was published by Leisure Books under the pen name of Vice
Daniels. He also worked briefly for the Washington Business Journal
as a journalist and has been a contributing writer/editor for several
aviation magazines.
Dan and his wife live in Owings, Maryland,
about twenty miles south of Annapolis and when he's not writing, they
spend their summers sailing on the Chesapeake Bay.
