James Birch (jameswallacebirch) | 1 comments Hello,

If you would like to borrow my copy of my book: Discontents: The Disappearance of a Young Radical, please let me know. This book is going to appeal to people who like gritty stories, subversive characters, and do not mind some language and a few love scenes.

Message me directly if you’d like to borrow it. - James

About Discontents
In the years leading up to the social upheaval of 2016-17, a loner with a following ignited unrest. Discontents is the eye-opening origin story of the fight behind the battle in the streets that has dominated the 2010s. How did Emory Walden, a notorious graffiti artist, fuel an uprising and why did he disappear?

Upon returning home to Washington, D.C. after quitting his desk job, cutting all ties, selling his belongings, and backpacking across Europe, a loner graffiti artist and disillusioned blogger, Emory Walden, sets out to call b.s. on the world. He soon finds an unlikely fan in the enigmatic Baby Boomer, Fletcher Spivey.

Soon, Emory is the underground figurehead of a radical activist movement and in love with a girl who he's hiding everything from.

But revolutions never go as planned. He awakes in a hospital bed. Why’s he there? Has the movement been infiltrated? He can't remember anything.

If he can piece things together, he just might be able to warn Spivey and save the movement. But, in a callous world of young radicals, ambitious cops, privileged twenty-somethings, damaged souls, scared citizens, homeless sages, and power players, it's hard to know who wants to see you disappear.

This is Not Your Typical 'Author Writes a Story' Book. The backstory:

In January 2011, Emory Walden, one of the most notorious political dissidents and graffiti artists hunted by authorities throughout the District of Columbia disappeared. Half a year later, James Wallace Birch, an old high school friend, received a letter from Emory imploring James to help tell Emory's story.

The book is Emory’s riveting first-hand account that puts to rest the speculation surrounding his disappearance. In it, we see a rare account of a man struggling against amnesia to uncover the nebulous forces that sought to bring him down.

Reviewers have described Emory's unique style as cynical and poignant but witty, insightful, and at times poetic. Characters are as dynamic as they are tortured, and the portrait of the back alleys and rooftops of the nation's capital is visceral and disturbing.
