about

Nick Freeman is down on his luck. Recently divorced, he drives for Uber and sleeps in a homeless shelter in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, while his ex-wife remains with their two young children in her Victorian house in Lower Pacific Heights. A native of Texas, Freeman reminisces on the days when “life was 'laaf' and time was 'taam'.” As a youth, he gave up sports for drugs and soon became a heroin addict. When we meet Nick in Uber Dick, he’s clean, but often has to fight the urge to use when faced with dire circumstances. His love for his children keeps him going and drives his pursuit toward building a secure home space to share with them. Dertien’s experimental and jagged narrative parallels Freeman’s existential, random thought-process and provides the reader with a raw, honest view into the dark comedy surrounding the protagonist; Nick Freeman knows himself well enough to throw a few jabs at himself for some laugh-out-loud gallows humor. A portrait of a single father struggling below the poverty line in the most exorbitantly expensive city in America, Dertien also reflects the contemporary zeitgeist of a once very cool city that, having been invaded by the tech industry, now mirrors the hypocrisy of social injustice, economic disparity and political absurdity that shatters artistic communities and the individual spirit in our country today.
