Prose! Patrimony! Popcorn!

Join Howard Akler as he launches Men of Action in Toronto -

About Men of Action:

After his father undergoes brain surgery and slips into a coma, Howard Akler begins to reflect on the complicated texture of consciousness. During the long months that follow, Akler confronts the unknowable nature of another persons life, as well as the struggles within his own unpredictable mind. With echoes of Paul Austers The Invention of Solitude and Philip Roths Patrimony, Men of Action treads the line between memoir and meditation, and is at once elegiac, spare and profoundly intimate.
