Wil Wheaton--blogger, geek, and Star Trek: The Next
Generation's Wesley Crusher--gives us five
short-but-true tales of life in the so-called Space Age
in Dancing Barefoot. With a true geek's unflinching
honesty, Wil examines life, love, the web, and the
absurdities of Hollywood in these compelling
autobiographical narratives. Based on pieces first
published in Wil's hugely popular blog,
www.wilwheaton.net, the stories in Dancing Barefoot
chronicle a teen TV star's journey to maturity and
self-acceptance. Far from the usual celebrity tell-all,
Dancing Barefoot is a vivid account of one man's version
of that universal story, the search for self. If you've
ever fallen in love, wondered what goes on behind the
scenes at a Star Trek convention, or thought hard about
the meaning of life, you'll find a kindred soul in the
pages of Dancing Barefoot. In the process of uncovering
his true geeky self, Wil Wheaton speaks to the inner
geek in all of us. The stories: Houses in Motion -
Memories fill the emptiness left within a childhood
home, and saying goodbye brings them to life.Ready Or
Not Here I Come - A game of hide-n-seek with the kids
works as a time machine, taking Wil on a tour of the
hiding and seeking of years gone by. Inferno - Two
15-year-olds pass in the night leaving behind pleasant
memories and a perfumed Car Wars Deluxe Edition Box Set.
We Close Our Eyes - A few beautiful moments spent
dancing in the rain. The Saga of SpongeBob VegasPants -
A story of love, hate, laughter and the acceptance of
all things Trek. |
