A collection of irreverent and poetic short works from legendary actor Vincent D'Onofrio
This is not a story woven around plot, characters, and contrivance. Rather, it is what acclaimed actor Vincent D'Onofrio's mind produces when on idle, when he is not thinking about servicing a story. His words are, in the purest sense, ideas that fall unexpectedly upon his head, "like an apple from a tree--dropping all at once," though less about gravity and Newton's apples, and more about levity. D'Onofrio's thoughts and images--presented here in all their uninhibited glory--are humorous, honest, abundant, raw, and unfiltered. And all exceedingly enjoyable.The unique design--a paperback with flaps and Chinese binding, all contained in a full-color, hardcover slipcase--offers the book an artistic, collectible feel.
