Why should you buy this book and not one of the many others written on Occupy? What does this have that the others don't? Police infiltration, methamphetamine, celebrity cameos galore, kickball, the practical applications of dead babies, moldy paperbacks, surfing, pies thrown and eaten, "the Dorian Grey of roller hot dogs", the secret sex life of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, $200 cup holders, the right way to smoke ammonia, romancing the cyclops, the etymology of 'twunt', the downsides of touring with GG Allin...and more.In the tidal wave of manuscripts inspired by and directly derived from the phenomena of Occupy Wall Street, Every Time I Check My Messages, Somebody Thinks I'm Dead is sure to both set the pace and stand wholly apart. Author Daniel Levine, an Occupier since day three and coordinator of the East Side Information Table of OWS, was given a privileged perch from which to view the kaleidoscopic gathering and ever shifting phenomena that was Occupy Wall Street in its heyday.Focusing less on the political aspects and more on the sheer viscera of experience, Levine offers a recreation of an experience entirely singular. Gate keeper of Zuccotti Park, Occupy, and sometimes the divide between sanity and what lay beyond, Levine spoke to visitors from every state besides Alaska and Hawaii, to persons possessed, dispossessed, and otherwise. The book, like Occupy, is an experience at times exciting, humorous, sometimes exasperating but never less than thrilling.A piece of gonzo journalism too lucid to not be sober, sure to catch on with a youth culture growing increasingly tired of the didactic, this is the book you've been waiting for.Some advance praise:"Thanks for gracing me with your prose. It's hilarious -- and yet deeper than standup gags, different than most other things I've read about OWS."-George Rush, NY Daily News"I really like the way that the text never defines what OWS is about, but all of the characters have their own perception about what it is/should be about. At least in the early days that was the way it was. I really liked it."-Tim Murphy, Occupier from day one"There were a lot of really funny one liners and puns throughout, too many to list. I couldn't help but think that your book would be an excellent base for a sequel to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."-Zachary Padovani"I really enjoyed it."-Kari Banta
