Hey everybody,

Just wanted to pass along news of a great A.D.D. review over at Pop Matters.

The review was written by Savannah Schroll Guz, a short-takes columnist for Library Journal and the co-editor of the online literary journal Hobart.

I've posted the beginning of her review down below, and there's a link to Pop Matters if you'd like to read the rest of it.

Naturally every word of it is true. :)


Cheers,
BL





Attention. Deficit. Disorder. is an astute portrait of the generation born in the '70s, incubated by a liberal arts education in the '90s, and set adrift on the comparatively choppy sea of the real world by the end of the millennium. Wayne Fencer, Brad Listi's protagonist, is a Gen X Everyman, resembling, in his wandering world view and uncertain actions, so many late- '20s / early 30-something men.

Affable but slightly aloof, he is noncommittal, restless, and admittedly directionless. He seeks, but is not entirely convinced of what he is looking for and pitches forward into adventures almost accidentally, making a life out of what comes to him. It is Fencer and his quest for meaning, his indecisive complexity, and aimless wonder that make this book significant to contemporary literature, even to cultural studies....

Hi Brad....Nice to meet you. I read the excerpts to your novel,"Attention Deficit Disorder" Is doing well? Well any way, I found it an interesting read. Kinda reminded me of a movie I saw a few years ago called "Crash". Though totally a different story it has the same feel. ..Wishing you all the best. From a late blooming author in far end of 'middle age' ...Ken K. Chartrand.
