Welcome!
Thank you for visiting Zabel Books. We are proud to launch our new publishing company with a fascinating book by first time author Keith Sass titled, Too Bad, an autobiography, of sorts.
Keith is a young man of uncommon good nature and humor; of curious quirks and esoteric obsessions; of courage; of passion; of vitality and genuineness. Too Bad is a story that offers insight into a world without sound; a world seen through the eyes of autism; a world where every breath is a blessing and a battle won against pulmonary hypertension. Keith’s world is immediate, emotion-filled, and without pretense or pretension. Unlike most of us, there is no filter between his mind and what he communicates to the world. Keith writes as he signs, thus he has little regard for articles, tenses, or matching singular nouns with appropriate verbs. This writing style is rudimentary yet effective and visceral; some of the sections read more like poetry than narration.
His book provides a reminder to cherish family, friends, and happiness; to rise up and right what is wrong; to have opinions and ask questions; and to embrace life, every moment.
Zabel Books is currently accepting manuscripts for publication. If you have an interesting story to tell, please contact us.
