NOBODY ROCKS PRESS  LAUNCH PARTY FOR  CULT CLASSIC  “The Last Stand of Mr America” by Jason Williams-Flroes. WWW.NOBODYROCKS.COM

Nobody Rocks is the first alternative press to publish novels for the Kindle and Sony Reader.

Jason Flores-Williams is a literary force of nature…a train wreck of genius.” San Francisco Chronicle.

Last Stand is about a lost corporate soul trying to find meaning in plastic America. His life a prison of work, apathy and television, save for his sex club explorations and gallows sense of humor. “Jason Flores-Williams is an all-American outlaw and edgewalker in the tradition of Jack Kerouac, Charles Bukowski and Biggie Smalls. The Last Stand of Mr. America cuts into our heart of darkness with no bullshit bedside manner and no anesthesia.” David Gates, Preston Falls, Jernigan.

Flores-Williams, who has been featured on CNN, NPR and Air America, is also known for his political activism. He wrote the High Times “Call To Resistance” and shut down Rockefeller Center in protest against the war. He is a frequent contributor to the Brooklyn Rail, Artillery magazine and does socio-cultural commentary for WBAI radio in NYC. Recently, feature film righs to Last Stand have been acquired by Melting Pictures, an independent film production company in Los Angeles.

“Disturb the powerful, empower the disturbed,” says Flores-Williams. “They’ve already got TV – so why else be a writer?”
