www.kurtcanty.comSo far my life has been a series of struggles. But it is our struggles and how we overcome our adversities that defines us as individuals. "Without struggle there can be no progress." -Fredrick Douglas
I am approaching the final stages in the completion of my novel which is based on real life events. If your favorite genre is Urban Novels/Fiction then this book is a must have to your collection. The pages will hold you captive like a slave as you experience how Kirk,the protagonist, handles life situations involving LOVE, RELATIONSHIPS and PERSONAL GROWTH. Travel with Kirk as his explorations take him through the neighborhoods of SEX, DRUGS, & VIOLENCE. The novel reaches its climax when the main character truly confronts and squares off against all of our nemesis. Keep your eyes open to find out how this life and death altercation ends.
Being a proud son of Philly, I sought my higher education at the oldest black institution of higher learning in the nation. It was there where I met Dr. Ruby Perkins, my English professor. Dr. Perkins motivation came in the form of a complete page attached to an assignment that I submitted. It was both encouraging and high critical with no punches pulled. I work in sales and security. I am currently continuing my education at Temple and then making a return to Cheyney to complete my undergraduate studies and hopefully join some of my friends on the "Wall of Fame" who were already inducted.
The following are commentaries for my novel:
A tale of Shakepearean scope…
Lengendary Dionysian hedonism and mythic clash of Titans.
True gladiators battle, but even Maximus would get dropped in this Colisuem.
Tyler Durden would get tossed fighting in this club.
Sex-drugs-heads get rocked and rolled-salvation- Redemption-and more…
A self actualization straight from the hardcore streets of Philadelphia & beyond.
This ain’t Rocky- no bell, no standing 8 count. Adrian and Mickey ain’t gonna save your ass.

********************************************
This novel digs deep into the many levels of “Security”. Kurt’s work takes you on examination of the world as well as yourself. He puts a choke hold on the reader that sends them into a familiar yet dream state while following the main character. Prepare yourself to laugh and cry. After reading this novel, you will have choice but to examine your definition of true Security.

My first and hopefully not my last video appearance.
