junkyardlucy-tonynesca-italianlibraryToday, I am glad to announce again I added a new book in English to an Italian library. This time, the book is Junkyard Lucy, by Canadian/Italian writer/poet Tony Nesca. Tony and his wife, Nicole I. Nesca, run their own independent publishing company called Screamin’ Skull Press – Inside this company, Tony and Nicole Nesca publish only their own books, a kind of literature they define as “renegade, unconventional and rebellious”, literary terms also associated with a tradition called “underground literature”.

Junkyard Lucy is a collection of short stories, Tony’s sixteenth book. Stylistically alternating between Nesca’s unique free-flow style, full of that incredible, rhythmic prose that only he can do, and street-tough, short declarative sentences, the writing shows incredible range. The themes are varied and widespread – from love, sex, music, death, old age, rebellious youth and everything in-between, Junkyard Lucy is a subversive celebration of being alive, a romantic, sexually charged discourse on life, unfettered and free.

Everything unravels in ‘Junkyard Lucy’, Nesca’s sixteenth published book. This isn’t just a book of short stories about life, but a searing and intense exploration of humanity that truly knows no rules.Nesca is bucking all trends with gusto – waging war on this stagnant mediocrity and embarking on artistic freedom that has Henry Miller smiling in his grave. The book is extremely unique, humorous, yet retains a serious quality that could just have readers reconsidering every shred of their existence. This is rebellious literature that breaks all conventional modes of writing, an outlaw, renegade howl from the back alleys and rock and roll taverns of literature.
