I began reading Austin Nights to prepare for an interview with its author `herocious' aka Michael Davidson. It is my usual procedure when attempting to find questions to ask that will be interesting to my readers.
I lost track of why I was reading this book at all; so caught up in the prose that crackled in my head like sparklers on the 4th of July.

Every attempt to pull myself back from the abyss of self involvement failed. Michael Davidson dragged me uncomplaining into his beautifully crafted jigsaw puzzle of a book.

Can I liken this work to anything else I have read? No ... not really. Although at times the shimmering image of Jack Kerouac managed to invade, he was overhauled and superseded by this new  and vital presence in the ranks of writing excellence.

Superlatives have been tossed around in the preceding reviews, all of them are true, yet none of them touch the bleeding vein of talent that author Michael Davidson has exposed to an audience hungry for ... what exactly? I can't find a word...but I can state unequivocally that my hunger has been appeased and my taste buds are ready for more by this author.
