Connecting the Dots to Shangrila: A Postmodern Cultural History of America

Connecting The Dots To Shangrila is a poetic memoir of maxims and manifestos, intertwining themes of society and culture, the psychodynamics of damage in abnormal psychology, the dysfunctional family unit, role-playing in the workplace and psychosocial environment -- sometimes from the point-of-view of a social worker, sometimes a 'wasted and wired' husband or father, and more times than not, a desperate, diehard poet, exploring the absurd and excessive forms of postmodern America.Reich is a social observer, something of a thief-scholar and wanderer constantly lingering (disenfranchised) just outside culture, describing a strange strip mall society in all its distorted, brainwashed, ritualistic, delusional splendor.
