  Can you, man, find the poetry to keep the sun from rising, like a mountain, blocking its inevitable ascent for a few more moments? Can you, who call yourself a writer, find the words that will have an actual influence on the real and natural world? Magic passwords-shazzam, open sesame, scoddy waddy doo dah–warriors lurking in the Trojan horse of words. The implicit answer to Coleridge’s question was: Hell, no. If the answer were yes, he would never have asked the question. The writer will never make something happen in the real world. In fact, the act of writing may be in itself the final admission that one is powerless in reality. Shit, that would surely suck. 


Bucky F*cking Dent is more than just an attention grabbing title. It is more than just a small novel about life, and its hits and misses. Most importantly, the novel introduces us to David Duchovny, novelist, instead of David Duchovny, actor. You may know David Duchovny from his many iconic roles throughout his career: Fox Mulder (The X-Files), Hank Moody (Californication) or currently Sam Hodiak (Aquarius); you may only know him in passing from his prolific career.

But what many people don't realize is that Duchovny is a skilled writer--a talent that is often unacknowledged.

With his previous fiction release Holy Cow, and a few scripts under his belt, Duchovny has proven time and time again that he knows how to tell a story. He is one of the most under appreciated novelists of our time and I cannot stress that enough. Bucky F*cking Dent proves this in every right--it's the best fiction release this year, hands down. He really fucking knows what he's doing, guys.
