DESCRIPTION:
This is a reading from the book THE BIG SHINY PRISON (Volume One) c/o author Ryan Bartek. 'THE BIG SHINY PRISON is a nonfiction road book/music journalism expose which defies all conventions existing in the territory of Jack Kerouac's 'On The Road,' Henry Miller's 'Tropic of Cancer' and Hunter S.
