Non-Fiction Biography | Self-Help

In a world bereft of common sense or decency, social service or grace, DUCK redux is the story of a duck who saves the life of a man...

DUCK redux is both allegory and memoir, peopled and storied by Nic's work as a volunteer crisis counselor in Los Angeles, helping and holding others' pain. The book revisits the feature film DUCK (2005) which Nic wrote and directed as a cautionary tale set in the near (but at that time avertable) future. However, with society devolving and history repeating, DUCK redux takes place present day. This book is written in the hopes, still, of effecting change.
