{"product_id":"no-alternative-9780985188610","title":"No Alternative","description":"NO ALTERNATIVE is a coming-of-age drama that drills a hole into the world of suburban American teenagers in the early 90's. Thomas Harrison is determined to start his own alternative band, an obsession that blinds him to what's either the mental collapse, or the eruption of musical genius, of his little sister, Bridget. Bridget boldly rejects her brother's music, and the music of an entire generation of slackers, by taking on the persona of an X-rated gangsta' rapper named \"Bri Da B.\" No Alternative probes the lives of rebellious kids who transition into adulthood via the distortion pedals of their lives in an era when the \"Sex, Drugs \u0026amp; Rock'n'Roll\" ethos was amended to include \"Suicide\" in its phrase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-6501628\"\u003eWilliam Dickerson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kettle of Letters Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780985188610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0985188618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC043000\"\u003eComing of Age\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliam Dickerson graduated from The College of The Holy Cross with a Bachelor's Degree in English and received his Master of Fine Arts in Directing from The American Film Institute. His debut feature film \"Detour,\" which he wrote and directed, was hailed as an \"Underground Hit\" by The Village Voice, an \"emotional and psychological roller-coaster ride\" by The Examiner, and nothing short of \"authentic\" by The New York Times. He self-released his metafictional satire, \"The Mirror,\" which opened YoFi Fest's inaugural film festival in 2013. He recently completed his third feature film, \"Don't Look Back,\" for MarVista Entertainment. His award-winning work has been recognized by film festivals across the country. His first book, \"No Alternative,\" was declared, \"a sympathetic coming-of-age story deeply embedded in '90s music\" by Kirkus Reviews. His latest book, \"DETOUR: Hollywood: How To Direct a Microbudget Film (or any film, for that matter),\" is available now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kettle of Letters Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44687523643629,"sku":"9780985188610","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_add47e03-ca56-459f-897d-667bf850e0a8.jpg?v=1703663522","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/no-alternative-9780985188610","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
