Universally Rejected Releases Black Comedy Novel

Sean Duenser has published a brutally honest relationship novel called, Master of Emotion, The Agreement. Synopsis: After a pair of bitter break-ups, Jeremy, a jaded and cynical activist turned slinger begins pursuing a live cam girl he met online, Anna May.

"The relationship is over when a girl is through unraveling her man," states Jeremy in a supercilious dialogue that launches the mood from the outset. "What could possibly catch her more off-guard than what she'll think was a premature, pre-emptive break-up? Get your balls back, gentlemen! Find your identity and take your power back by realizing every last f*cking one of them will do this to you if they have the chance and motivation. They're not 'little and defenseless!'"

Duenser said that he began writing the book after separating from the love of his life. Sean would later become nearly crippled in a motorcycle accident after a hit and run by a drunken motorist and would lose an aunt who was like a second mother to him, soon after. With all his boiling anger and resentment during recovery, Duenser wrote, in his words, this "stubborn minimalist epistolary novel to channel all of his frustrating negative emotions into a cathartic release."

One reviewer described that the book "possesses the unfettered crude wit of Bukowski, the detailed emotional neutering of a Palahniuk protagonist, and an innovative story-telling style as much unfolds through music, emails, messages, and texting for a modern spin on Letters to a Young Poet by Rilke."

Master of Emotion is a series and The Agreement is the first Act. The novel can be found in all digital formats on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple and everywhere else through Smashwords.
