Life In An Elevator
A Novel
By D. Witt
Introduction
I find it particularly difficult to wax poetically about the absurdity
of the human condition but it is my strong hope that I will succeed in
exposing the hypocracy which is inherent in the flawed system of values
which is held by society-at-large by documenting, through a stream of
consciousness expression, my life experience as a young man.
A clear path will emerge leading toward the revelation of my
raison-d'etre because up until now my life has been nothing less than a
series of random and disjointed events which results in my being
disoriented and confused. I feel as though I am tossed from one
meaningless moment to the next where no obvious pattern is apparant.
The pattern must be there somewhere but I just cannot find it. I have
experienced a sequence of abstract and unrelated events strung together
through time and space.
John Lennon of Liverpool wrote, "A working class hero is something to
be, but you're all f*cking peasants as far as I can see" I am a working
class peasant and this is my story and your story too, whether you like
it or not, no matter who you are or who you think you are. It is the
universal story of the human condition personified in the 1960's by a
few young musicians who saw through heaven. They are Roky Erickson,
Tommy Hall, Stacy Sutherland, Benny Thurman, John Ike Walton, Ronnie
Leatherman, Dan Galindo, and Danny Thomas...
The Elevators.
