This work is also a chronicle of the worldwide protests launched by Take The Square & Occupy Wall Street, their impact and realities unfolding at the time of the author's adventures. “Return To Fortress Europe” also includes extended & cut material from the original “The Big Shiny Prison” as well as other writings that have never seen print before. In 2007 it all began – Bartek traveled the USA to create his own heavy metal / punk rock road saga of extreme journalism, inspired by the legendary works of Henry Miller, Kerouac & Hunter S. Thompson. 1 year, 35 States, 600+ hours on Greyhounds & 1000 cities later, “The Big Shiny Prison” was released – a unique travel book featuring hundreds of face-to-face interviews with legends in the metal/punk undergrounds, as well as other alternative & fringe cultures in America. “FORTRESS EUROPE” (The Big Shiny Prison Vol. II)' followed the author backpacking Europe & his exploration of fringe & alternative culture. This genre-defying work also featured face-to-face interviews with a number of legends in extreme metal, punk rock, industrial, experimental, rock & electronic. “Return To Fortress Europe” First Print Edition will be released Fall 2018, published by Anomie Press.
