Synopsis

The Past is Going to Suck breaks the 20th century down decade by decade, until eventually the century itself...breaks down.

Peter Wick brings his comic voice and the "real" history of the 20^th century together in this funny, irreverent book.

Peter Wick is an award-winning independent filmmaker, writer, and stand-up comedian. He won "Best Director" at the 2011 NY Int'l Film Festival for his third feature film, "Rock Paper Scissors." His "Key West" book series has sold in the thousands, and his blog "Simple Displeasures" has become a destination for thousands of readers.

About the Author

Peter Wick is an award-winning independent filmmaker and writer. He has Produced, Written, Directed, and acted in three low budget independent feature films, all with the support of grants from Seattle non-profit Northwest Film Forum. All three films have won film festival awards. Most recently Wick won "Best Director" at the New York Int'l Film Festival for his 2011 feature, "Rock Paper Scissors." His prior feature, 2008's "Movie Pizza Love," has turned up on more than 100 'Favorite films' lists around the world. Wick's first novel, "Key West," was published in 2013 by Wheelman Press. The book has sold in the thousands. Greg Banks, founder and publisher of Wheelman Press, suffered health issues in 2014, and could no longer run the publishing company. Wick will always be grateful to Banks for helping Wick establish Azzurri Publishing. Wick runs the company in honor of Banks original decision to publish the Key West series. Key West is followed up by three "Companion Episodes," which exist separately as Kindle-only novellas, and together in the compendium, "Key West - The Companion Episodes." Wick has since published the humorous novella, "It Is What It Is," as well as "Funny Sexy Nanobots," A collection from his popular blog, Simple Displeasures. Wick has also performed stand-up comedy around the U.S. and on a given night might be found performing on a stage somewhere in the Los Angeles area.
