Literary New York Halloween Party at the NYU Bookstore October 31, 2011!

Keefer's trilogy is a unique 21st century novel

Keefer's brilliant wit and intellect infuse this massive masterpiece so that you get an unusual perspective on twentieth century media megalomania, and what 9/11 and the War on Terror did to clash and un-clash civilizations. The narrative style is so unique she should be considered for a major literary prize! ( A viewer from The Big Apple) New York Part III of this trilogy is a tandem competive narrative between the Quantum Chromodynamic Force and the Electroweak Force, revealing new insights through the personification of particle physics and its relationship to bipolar illness and the Extraordinary World of this fantasy memoir!
