An almost utter failure...
Jack Suss aka Wyman Wicket is a cultural mutant multi-career virtuoso (blues piano player and singer, writer/poet, one-time military officer, lawyer, English professor, and Ph.D. in Humanities) – and a tireless poet-fighter against the “glare” of consensual reality and culture trance. Often believing that he is doomed to live the scruffy life of a bluesman, this hard-working creative loafer is now in semi-retirement from his string of seemingly unconnected endeavors. Bereft of ambition to “be” anything further in this phony baloney world, he bemoans the decline of the authentic and agitates for the demise of corpocracy’s TV bumperoo/techno-soul-snatching and a return to more primal simplicities.
