Reviews"The stories [in This Train] are humorous and touching. There are few great storytellers in this day and age, and Mr. Fitzpatrick has an undeniable gift to engage an audience. This Train is a rare piece of theatre that is not to be missed." -Chicago Critic, Tony Fitzpatrick's drawing collages are the talismanic residue of a modern flaneur's journey through streets where the past and the present, the prosaic and the cosmic, coexist in a perceptual time-space continuum.”- Inside Art New Orleans|9780615385761|, Tony Fitzpatrick tells stories in the manner of his hero and friend, Studs Terkel, and I would gather that Studs is looking down on him with a big s--t grin on his face and having some great laughs.” -SteadyStyle Chicago|9780615385761|, "Tony Fitzpatrick tells stories in the manner of his hero and friend, Studs Terkel, and I would gather that Studs is looking down on him with a big s--t grin on his face and having some great laughs." -SteadyStyle Chicago, "Tony Fitzpatrick's drawing collages are the talismanic residue of a modern flaneur's journey through streets where the past and the present, the prosaic and the cosmic, coexist in a perceptual time-space continuum."- Inside Art New Orleans

SynopsisThis Train: An Artist's Journal is like no other book written by Mr. Fitzpatrick. Unlike previous works, this book will include both high quality drawing collage images accompanied by corresponding essays produced over a sixteen-month period. Part memoir, part urban narrative, part socio-political commentary, each piece is a deeply personal and intellectual contemplation of a broader American story. Fitzpatrick is without a doubt the contemporary voice of the workingman, following strongly in the tradition of both Nelson Algren and Studs Terkel. This Train: An Artist's Journey is the culmination of a nearly two-year meditation on the ideas and experiences that bind us to this land; it is a treatise on the American view from the bottom up.
