Title
The Naked Law - Paperback
by Linda Joyce Ott (Author)
Clutter and hoarding, creativity and the artist, and death and dying come together in this dystopian novel. Before you die, you must divest yourself of all your worldly goods. That is The Naked Law of a new world order. But if you keep telling stories, or if you keep making art, you may just delay the Final Reckoning.
"The Naked Law" opens with the launch of a blog that shares stories about life after The Final Catastrophe. You will hear from a chorus of voices including Sheri, a collector who is preparing for her day in court to argue against the Essential Goods Inventory form; Laszlo the Fixer, an old-world rebel who helped rebuild society after The Great Resolve; and Amy Anderson, author of the Clutter-Buster's blog. You will also encounter Lena Lorca, an artist struggling with creativity and death in a brave new world.Author Biography
