Raw Dog Screaming Press Releases 9/11 Novel Narrated by the South Tower

Sarasota, FL, July 10, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The South Tower as narrator? That's the conceit which renders Paul A. Toth's Airplane Novel the only 9/11 novel worth reading. Airplane Novel sheers events from sentimentality, cliché and fixed memory. Through an almost cubist mural of words, the novel releases 9/11 to the future, just as remnants of the Twin Towers live today in new Manhattan structures. Indeed, the South Tower serves as the ultimate spectator of its own spectacle.

The Midwest Book Review named Airplane Novel a "Reviewer's Choice" and stated, "Toth is a unique, gifted stylist whose prose is at times sharp, unpredictable, humorous and always engaging. There have been a lot of books about 9/11, but I promise you none like this." Bookgasm proclaims, "Toth is undeniably talented and has all the makings of a notable force in contemporary fiction."

Airplane Novel hopes to address what was, until now, summarized by a USA Today's article headlined "Novels About 9/11 Can't Stack Up to Nonfiction." Paul A. Toth seeks in his novel to answer a statement made in that same article: "We don't need to create stories around the event. There were enough stories there from the start." As Toth says, "In that case, so much for All Quiet on the Western Front."

Historians explore events through dissections and reflections, thereby illuminating infinite perspectives and creating the wide-open spaces of history. That's the goal Toth set for Airplane Novel. In his words: "Airplane Novel is not 9/11; Airplane Novel *is* 9/11."
