Fatidic: Selected Duttyisms

More than a year before mainstream media detected that a "Reggae Revival" was happening, Dutty Bookman had already inspired its name. His blog, duttyism.com, played a role in that regard but, before that, it was simply Bookman's outlet for personal rebellion. Conducting a self-study in plain sight, he deliberately exposed himself to a judgmental, anonymous world and soon emerged from this self-immolation with his own literary methodology for chipping away at the walls of oppression. These blog posts - some of Dutty's isms - were selected purposely by the writer himself and edited for this publication. It is a telling chronology by itself, yet it also pairs well with his critically acclaimed memoir, Tried & True: Revelations of a Rebellious Youth.
