Compromised Positions

Compromised Positions is Steve Dreben's powerful treatise on the destruction of the soul of western civilization. Written with the finesse and sharp cathartic analysis of Upton Sinclair or J.D. Salinger, Dreben is sure to take his place amongst the American writers who pierce the side of societies soul with the spear of analogical wit. Showing the reader no mercy, the author coyly invites us along for a sojourn of literary adventure that leads us through a maze of philosophy, emotions and deviant sexual passion culminating in our own desires and fantasies being rejected or validated. Seemingly knowing no bounds, Dreben continues to push the envelope of societies supposed overt moral norms, only to expose the dark and disturbed underbelly of the shadowy beast. The author points out, that we as individuals decide what the brass ring is, and then follows a fanatical pursuit of it to our own resolution. With an apocalyptic flair of foreshadowing of the time to come, Dreben takes the reader all the way to the edge only to look down the cliff of fathomless depth, darkness and forever. Fortunately, he does not let us fall.
