Product Description:
There comes a time in the lives of people of a certain disposition, usually from the ages of sixteen to twenty-three, when following any path other than that of an artist seems unthinkable. They read books with titles like "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" and see something of themselves in their pages. They begin painting or writing poetry. They throw themselves into such a life with the passion and fury that seems reserved for such an age and then, usually, they stop. Sometimes they decide to switch to a major with more earning potential. Sometimes they graduate and lose track of their friends. Sometimes they find jobs in galleries, or publishing houses that leave too little time for their own endeavors. Sometimes they're not good enough. Sometimes they grow up. And yet books wherein the protagonist overcomes all obstacles to become an artist, books where, in the final pages, one learns that the young man or woman picks up a pen and begins to write that very book, books with titles like "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," continues to be written. God Bless the Suirrel Cage is not one of those books.
