Bohemia Receives Rave Review in Tossing It Out

In an entry entitled, "The Kind of Surprise That I Like to Get", Arlee Bird of Tossing It Out deemed Veronika Carnaby's Bohemia "one of the best of 2012--or at least my favorite of the year and one of my favorites of all time". In the glowing, 5-star review, he went on to state that "Carnaby does a tremendous job of capturing the spirit of 1960 and creating characters that seem real and likable." Read an excerpt of Mr. Bird's review below:

" So often I am less than gratified by books that I read.  Yours has left me satisfied and has lingered in my mind.   Readers, if you like books like what I've described here, I encourage you to support Carnaby and hasten to obtain Bohemia."

Don't miss out on Carnaby's thrilling new read for the modern beatnik, in which she provides a wild, unrestrained account of '60s counterculture youth bursting out of their creative shells. Influenced by the works of Beat writers and poets, the story takes place during 1960 and chronicles a group of bohemian twenty-somethings who defy the "ideals" of a mid-twentieth century society to seek creative fulfillment. More than anything, the author's spontaneous narrative and equally as impulsive characters brilliantly reflect the rebellious nature of art.

"What's different about this book is its stylistic approach,"  the author expressed in a recent statement. "I like to consider it offbeat, avant garde. The plot wasn't written in a traditional manner, but rather in a spontaneous burst over a short period. If you take a liking to the authors of the Beat movement, you'll enjoy Bohemia."

The book includes a cover quote from notable jazz musician and composer, Archie Shepp.
