Sacramento, United States - March 8, 2018 /PressCable/ —
Not Black and White: From the Very Windy City to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was released nationally in 2016. This novel highlights the rise of a savvy young Chicago street politician who became the first African American president of the United States during one of the most corrupt political periods in Chicago and Illinois history.
The novel has received an overwhelming number of five star reviews on Amazon since its release, and is currently being adapted as a screenplay for a TV mini-series.
Christi Lyle-Rasheed from the San Francisco Book Review says, “Mr. Beller is capable of playing on the emotions of the reader. There were times when I felt sad or angry, and even times when I laughed out loud.…Beller’s writing style makes it impossible to put down once you begin reading.” Lyle-Rasheed also said, “Any reader who is interested in politics will find this both fascinating and thought-provoking and a quick read full of depth and detail.” Read the entire review HERE.
Kirkus Reviews called Not Black and White, “An engaging, thinly veiled fictionalization of Chicago politics,” and Romuald Dzemo for Readers Favorite says, “G. A. Beller has the gift of character and plot, but what will surprise readers is the author’s ability to make the setting come alive in their minds. The writing is clinically polished, flawless, and lyrical. It will entertain you and it will make you think about the American reality.” Not Black and White was a Readers Favorite Book Award Finalist in 2017. See the full review HERE.
G. A. Beller said about his book, “Never underestimate the intelligence of your readers. Give them a story line with facts and fiction, and allow them to decide what’s factual.”
Dick Simpson, UIC Professor and Co-Author of Corrupt Illinois says, “Some of the people and dialogue may be fictitious, but the corruption known as the Chicago Way is all too real. This novel provides an inside look on how the deals are made and laws are broken. It is a must-read for anyone who cares about politics and government.”
“Not Black and White tells it like it is. Spells it out in so many words. And, believe me, you will want to read every one,” said Mary Ann Smyth for bookloons.com. See the full review HERE.
G. A. Beller has lived in Chicago for over twenty-five years, and is a self-professed political junkie. Chicago’s history of political corruption and incompetence prompted him to research a specific era of rampant criminal behavior. Utilizing articles that appeared in the press and on the internet, Beller created a fictionalized accounting of characters and events during this period, depicting through his imagination how things might have played out. He leaves it to the reader to interpret fact from fiction.
NOT BLACK AND WHITE is G. A. Beller’s first novel, and it is currently being considered for a television mini-series. More information about G. A. Beller and Not Black and White can be found at GABeller.com Not Black and White is published by G. Anton Publishing.
