Self Affirmation For the Dead - A Novel by Robert Eisner & Iain H. McLean: Chapter Three
http://roberteisner.blogspot.com/2010/06/chapter-3.html
Friday, January 11 2008. I think I'm in love with my pillow. Each morning it greets me without fail. Each night it soothes my head and watches over me as I sleep. I've stared at this pillow for years. We go a long way back. Back to the days of Lauren Fitzgerald. She probably still is. We didn't drift apart so much as I became the dam that held her back so I did the right thing. I let her free. I let her touch her sky while mine closed in on me. I don't miss her anymore. I miss the feelings we had. I like...

8220;Will you be long tonight Mr. Katz? A short and immaculately dressed gentleman stepped out of his SUV. He looked like he was on a mission. “No. Thanks Juan.” He swapped the parking ticket in the valet’s hand for a ten-dollar bill and headed inside.

Megalopolis he sipped his cocktail, hoping the sugar and alcohol ...

http://roberteisner.blogspot.com/2010/02/witness-interviews.html
As part of the research for Self Affirmation For The Dead.

The whole exercise was time consuming and along the way I quickly learned just how much of an art interview technique really is. Here is a list of some exerpts from those interviews:.

Self Affirmation For the Dead - A Novel by Robert Eisner & Iain H. McLean: Robert on Eisner
http://roberteisner.blogspot.com/2010/07/robert-on-eisner.html
Right back at the start of the whole episode Iain asked Robert to put down in writing of no more than one page who or what Robert Eisner is in his own words. The following is the unedited outpouring. It kind of gives a little depth to the source material. A bit of color. Robert Eisner - Biography. A graduate with an Journalism major. I guess I never found my niche unless that niche is trawling bars at night trying to workout what went wrong. I do know one thing though: I'm a loose cannon. Mad. Cutlery is...

http://roberteisner.blogspot.com/2008_01_24_archive.html
Maybe it hasn’t always felt like it, but I don’t really remember anything different. I can recall the first time I had a panic attack. I can’t recollect what it felt like, just that three days later my emotions began to atrophy. So I have been back in. For nearly a week now. That’s what I meant to say. Today is Friday. Eight days after I took control of me again. One week since I sat in Joel Katz's office. One week since I set out to meet Chip in Vegas. Six days since I met Samuel Macy. It's a trust thing.

Self Affirmation For the Dead - A Novel by Robert Eisner & Iain H. McLean: Themes
http://roberteisner.blogspot.com/2010/02/themes.html
Write about the themes in Self Affirmation For The Dead. That's a complex task. How about: an intimate encounter with Robert Eisner while he attempts to gain control over his emotional being for the first time in years following anti-depressant use. Anger is one emotion that surfaces, as is anxienty - obviously - but they are not alone as Robert pushes his body and mind to the limit in two days. I think the overiding theme.
