RT Book, Whole DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 1097960911 LA English T1 Observations, book, essay, and material from various works A1 Lund, Brandon J.,, YR 2019 SN 1644265532 9781644265536 AB Lund presents a collection of essays and other short writings. This compilation kicks off with a review of a 2015 exhibit at Los Angeles' California Science Center that featured the Dead Sea Scrolls. The author describes the scrolls' presence as "ghostly," and the tour as brief, but notes that the experience was still worth the trip. A bit later, the work presents a no-frills description of a Rose Bowl football game and then offers original poetry, which is sometimes startling Not long after an academic essay on Geoffrey Chaucer comes the hardiest fare in the collection--a journal. In brief entries, the author describes his creation of independent comic books over the course of a few years. The journal will provide plenty of tips to the uninitiated, such as the importance of having promotional items at the Alternative Pres Expo in San Francisco. This book, as its subtitle indicates, encompasses a multitude of odds and ends, which function more as a portrait of their creator than any kind of cohesive narrative
