Noah Cicero Proust Questionnaire


Noah Cicero is the author of The Human War, The Condemned, Burning Babies and Treatise. He currently resides in Youngstown, Ohio. I first read him on web site called Lit Vision. I think we were both published on the same issue if I'm not mistaken. My favorite book of his is The Condemned. The thing I like about Noah Cicero's writing is that I can't really compare him to anybody else writing today. To me, he stands on his own as far as his style. His spirit, I would compare to Henry Miller.
