Man, where to start? It’s so honest, in all its f’d -up glory… Really happy to be following along Bowen. And so happy for you, to be creating, on this path, writing from deep down. And it unearths some memories for me… all those places, those dark, insane nights and brutal mornings, making up a young life…. !!! Hugs old friend!!
fuckin A right? I was just thinking about you the other day, some gesture or phrase that was 100% yours, sitting on the steps at MacAteer probably. So glad you are reading, dear friend -- and thank you for the support!!!
Well written and wonderfully told story. Good Lord do I relate!! Far too much. You did a good job placing the reader there, in your experience. I could visualize it all, feel it all. Mickeys 40s, yep. And Old English, Steel Reserve, etc. Skateboarding, surfing, punk rock. Yep. I lived in the Bay Area for a decade as well so I knew the spots.
More more more, please...
That first chapter definitely gripped me Bowen. The openness, the rawness, and the way the writing flowed together - it’s really good.
so glad you are digging it! I'll be interested to hear more as you read on from the start. Cheers Michael!
