The Middle Age

A collection of observations penned by author and musician Ren Cummins over the past ten years, encompassing a broad span of topics involving the process of growing up (or growing old) in the pop-culture-rich environment of 20th and 21st century America. A self-professed "Geek," Ren's association with comic books, science fiction, saturday morning television and the SCA all come together in a brisk examination of career exploration, philosophy and becoming a Father with a style that is at turns amusing and sober. Ren's love of the English (and Spanish) language bears the part of the passenger, deliberate wordplay evident throughout. A thought-provoking - and at times irreverent - self-examination of one man's struggle to grow up but not entirely grow old.
