Book Reviews for Life: part-time
“Life: part-time takes a unique approach to exploring ideas relating to life purpose, disillusionment, and the tensions between inner desires and practical needs. Robert Gerson explores a man’s path back to creativity and purposeful living. An engaging blend of dreamlike prose with clear exposition and impactful dialogue. Readers will readily empathize with Nicholas Affini as he takes a metaphysical journey into his past and to his subconscious self.”

Robert Gerson’s Life: part-time is a moving work of visionary fiction, where a young creative woman helps her kindred spirit recover his damaged psyche and creativity. The writing is poetic and thought-provoking, inviting readers to examine their own creative path and purpose. The blending of prose, poetry, fantasy, and romance with realism is quite an effective way to tell this story.
