White Boy Cool: Seven Acts of Vicious Funambulism

"White Boy Cool"
Isabella Viramontes:

I had the opportunity to write the first review for Eli Shaber's novel "The Dude'Du Jour'Of Somalia"
Now, remarkably, here I am again to write the first review for "White Boy Cool".

"White Boy Cool"(as I've grown to expect from Shaber) is magnificently polar from "The Dude". "The Dude" offered
a prose-poetry epic-style narration peppered with powerful, humorous, exhausting and even gruesome images.
To this day difficult for me to forget.

"White Coy Cool" is no such animal. I adore the subtitle to death: 'Seven Acts Of Vicious Funambulism'.
I mean how funny is that? Really funny.

The Seven Acts referred to are in fact shorts stories. These spoken-word ditties are, in and of themselves, quite interesting.
Shaber writes of 'small things'. Little 'bite-sized' chunks of life. But, of course, there is a twist. A gigantic twist.
Each of 'The Seven Acts' are written is classic couplet/quatrain...
