Optic Nerve chronologically traces the life of an unknown writer, living in the middle of the desert, as he takes his readers on a trip �Back to the Future.� The writing style is raw, pure and unique. Optic Nerve could easily have been titled �The World According to Buzz Sodeman.� Sodeman utilizes inanimate objects to tell his stories, from growing up in Saginaw, MI through his time spent in Vietnam to his days in Pahrump, NV. Optic Nerve is a combination of fiction, non-fiction, science fiction and sports. Optic Nerve�s legacy sets a standard for under achievers and journalistic wannabes.
