In this debut volume, Larry Levy explores what keeps him up at night: fear, the loss of youth, and insignificance. His methodology is that of a psychoanalyst and sculptor. He chips away with unsettling but honest critiques of self and others, then adds form and shape to his introspective and external observations. His 'whispers' are those of the anxious and depressed, struggling to find meaning and relevance in a fickle and unforgiving world. Through stories and recollections of the past, he reveals his own coming of age with humor and raw sexuality.
