Overview

In a world bereft of common sense or decency, social service or grace, DUCK redux is the story of a duck who saves the life of a man... DUCK redux is both allegory and memoir, peopled and storied by Nic's work as a volunteer crisis counselor in Los Angeles, helping and holding others' pain. The book revisits the feature film DUCK (2005) which Nic wrote and directed as a cautionary tale set in the near (but at that time avertable) future. However, with society devolving and history repeating, DUCK redux takes place present day. This book is written in the hopes, still, of effecting change. More of Nic's work can be found @ www.NicsPics.net and www.DuckTheMovie.com ""I've always believed that if, together, we can find some beauty and humor in the pain and sadness of life, we may just be okay for this world. In such, I hope DUCK redux offers you pause for thought and room for joy. With love."" - Nic Bettauer, author ""Bettauer tells a story bursting with heart, humanity, and vulnerability... It is about the difference that one man (or duck) can make in the world, and how quickly that world can change. Both heartfelt and heartbreaking, Arthur's tale is one that's sure to touch readers at their core. A beautifully vulnerable look at life, death, and love."" - Kirkus Reviews ""Libraries and readers seeking literary, philosophical, psychological examinations of life's meaning and survival tactics will find DUCK redux an outstanding tale of discovery, recovery, and growth. Its ability to interconnect the lives of two species and personalities makes for an uplifting survival story that will soothe and attract a wide audience."" - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
