SIDEKICK PRESS RELEASES MAN ALONE BY JACK REMICK
Man Alone is set in and around a complex Seattle where Rat City meets the Billionaires’ Club. Zene, a man alone, lives in a chaotic, sexually disruptive and violence-wrecked world. His life ruined after a chain of disappointments and falls—the fruits of his violent nature—Zene runs into Karizma, a love-creature from his past, and he’s smitten again, knowing all the while that for him, there’s no future in love. Not your basic romance, for sure.
Man Alone is now available on Audible!

An Excerpt Read by the Author
Early reviews praise Remick’s new title:
From its opening scene on a bar stool, to Zene’s denouement, walking into the tunnel of darkness, the novel beguiles the reader with images that arrest, unmask, and reflect Everyman’s fated existential dialogue with self.
Man Alone’s stripped-down cadence—peeling away the veneer of words—achieves an apotheosis of carnal
sensuality where two bodies combine into one…this author’s luminous reveal.
—Dennis Must, author of MacLeish Sq. et al
Jack Remick has invented a new genre—Pulp Literature. In Man Alone, Remick delivers lines with the deadpan of a
pulp detective on the crime-trail…Remick’s characters engaged in the base pursuit of their own ends, burn up in
the fire of their own kindling…Remick builds on a theory of masks and unmasking, and, in the stunningly poetic
images that run in Zene’s observations, you see a writer as observer whose characters have depth as well as a fatal
blind spot. In Man Alone Remick has come into some kind of new literary superpower.
—Christine Runyon
Man Alone is a story that must be experienced…the story is wonderfully original, with characters who are exquisite
in their flaws…Remick’s talent with words is unquestionable, and his ability to create such original tales that draw
you in and force you to contemplate the realities of the darker side of human nature is, in my opinion, unmatched.
—Theresa Cogdill
