Being equally at home in hard core clubs, poetry festivals, soup kitchens, the netherworld of squats, or urine drenched dives and youthfully, defiant haunts where cultural resistance rules, they drew immediate followers. The Anarchist and The Devil Do Cabaret is an amazing portrayal of that tour, told with a sense of humor, a down-to-earth perception, and in the tradition of Jack Kerouac's On the Road or Henry Rollins' Get In the Van. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInspired by encounters with Europe's new multi-racial underclass-- the working poor, street people, immigrants, refugees, marginalized youth, the aged--this book is not merely an insider's look into the state of rock'n'roll, it is, as well, a commentary on the state of Europe in the late 20th century. In a wonderful reversal of tradition, every so often Nawrocki slips from his chronicles of life on the road into short fiction pieces. These stories, real and exaggerated, are filled with a cast of friends, lovers, and fellow travelers--panhandlers and anarchists, the unemployed and underemployed dreaming of better times, neo-Nazis and skinheads trapped in hateful lives, prostitutes risking everything, gypsy ghetto boys fighting racism, and even the sometimes riotous band members themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere is what some critics are saying about Nawrocki's work: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Brecht\/Weil combo for the 21st century. - Brave New Waves, CBC Radio \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDelicious...astonishing....audacious. - Le Devoir, Montreal \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHighly recommended for the politically astute. - Broken Pencil, Toronto \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA one-man tour de force. - Sunday Morning, CBC Radio \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA stunning mix of violin, grating guitars \u0026amp;
