Description
A young, old-fashioned, working-class man aspires to be a writer as the hailed names of old, working (or not working) on what he hopes to be the next great American novel.
Married with a child, in an increasingly universal dead-end job and underwhelming career, in a deflated generation, Warner wrestles with the purpose of one’s pursuits and the earnest dare to use one’s gifts to the best of their ability. In doing so, he struggles to maintain a normal life, which has now become a dream in and of itself in a post-modern America. The chants, the creeds, the treasures, and the allure – the American Dream – appear depressingly elusive and, at certain glances, perhaps lost to time.
The timeless tale of this ‘Dreamer’s Quarry’ -- struggling and striving for the things of which we hold dearest to our hearts – details the ever living trope of ‘the starving artist’ as Warner rediscovers resolve for a life of purpose, passion, conviction, and calling.
Advance Praise
"The Dreamer’s Quarry is a compelling exploration into the mind of a writer. The struggles can consume you, the 9-to-5 life can drain you, leaving you feeling adrift and aimless, but there remains the possibility of inspiration from the most unexpected sources. The journey to creation is a difficult one, and one best unrushed, but this story leaves you hopeful, ready to tackle what you can, while you can." - S.A. Evans, Independent Book Review
