1942: The Nazis have successfully landed in Mexico and have invaded the United States through Texas. The Japanese have conquered western Canada and have captured and occupied most of the West Coast from Seattle to the outskirts of Los Angeles. The Italians have launched a massive amphibious assault from Cuba and have taken control of Florida and the Southeast as far north as Atlanta. New York City and Washington D.C. are fortifying and preparing for the onslaught. American forces are stranded in Europe and Southeast Asia. The homeland is being defended neighborhood to neighborhood by women, the elderly and gay men, all ineligible for military service. The KKK and Right Wing radicals are supporting the invaders helping to establish concentration camps where Blacks and Jews are being transported all over the western U.S. Amid the carnage and brutality of an enemy seeking to destroy everything in its path, the American Spirit is put to its greatest test. Pastore weaves a tale that will not soon be forgotten as this highly imaginative story unfolds. It is an awe-inspiring parable of the true nature of the American people when put to their greatest test.

You Are What You Drive For years people have said things like you are what you eat and clothes make the man and you can t tell a book by its cover. These are all true in their own way but nothing comes close to revealing a person s personality and value system as the car he/she drives. America is a car motivated society. After the family home, nothing consumes so much money and time as the family car or cars. They must be purchased, financed, insured cleaned, fueled, washed and waxed. After the supermarket and the bank, the local car wash is the most known spot in town. Stop someone in a medium sized town and ask him where the Baptist church is. He ll hem and haw and give some vague answer like. we don t got one. But ask him where the car wash is and Bingo, he ll give you exact directions. Buying a car is a huge undertaking. If it was just transportation, it would be a simple matter. Do you see people writing letters to city governments about the color of the buses or the trim in a subway? But when it comes to cars, every nerve ending in the human body wants a vote. Don t you love the smell of a new car? The feel of the leather seats? The shininess of the paint? The sound or silence of the engine? You bet you do. With all this sensory input at stake, the personality takes over. Why do some men prefer dark suits while others opt for slacks and a sports coat? Why do some women prefer red over white? Why do some people work out everyday, others a few days and others not at all. It s all about priorities and the human priority is how we appear to other people. Don t you remember how you used to primp and clean and carefully dress yourself when you first met someone new? Why? Obviously, to make an impression at least to make the impression you think best represents yourself. And nothing says so much about you as your car. The choices are infinite perhaps even more styles and variations than houses offer. Why do you pick what you pick? A bunch of people will, after reading the chapter on their car choice, say stuff like, that s the only car I could afford. BS! Every price point in the car market has dozens of choices. Just go to a junkyard and if you have only a hundred bucks to spend, you ll still have choices and will pick the heap that says, this is me.

An intriguing study of a side of the monster of the Third Reich that few people know existed. Hitler was a failed artist who attempted to support himself by selling landscape paintings and sketches on the streets of Linz Austria. He is thought to have produced some 3000 works, some of which were created during the war. He attempted entry to the Vienna School of Fine Arts but was rejected twice because of his inability to draw the human figure convincingly. He gave up art as a vocation and went into politics. This book offers a glimpse into the psychotic mind of one of the most demonic people in the history of mankind. Nothing contained in this book is designed to promote or encourage or endorse his ideas.

Entrant for the Pulitzer Prize in Letters, 2009, Best New American Poet, 2007: Pastore owes all he has, and has ever had, to a saving engagement with his art. What I particularly admire is the gamble he takes, and wins, with those classic stylized poems. In less accomplished hands they might have been distractingly archaic, but here, defused by the beautifully plain and heartfelt thanks for everything into which they flow, they connect back to the great tradition from which Pastore has drawn strength not just artistically but personally, one feels throughout one of the more impressively and, I might say, spectacularly, composed first poetry collections in contemporary American poetry.
