The text of BACKGROUND NOISE also includes eight original, fine-line drawings that draw its audience further into the emotionally-intense world of its protagonist. In razor-sharp prose reminiscent of Haruki Murakami, Peter DeMarco startles the mind while touching the heart. The unspoken is felt, and the imagined resonates with reality. The characters are both seductive and repellent.
The narrative of BACKGROUND NOISE is deceptively simple. Immersing himself in his past, memories become guilt, guilt becomes obsession, until violence is the only logical response. Henry loses close family members and friends, desperately seeks companionship through unconventional friendships, holds a variety of dead-end jobs, and is a victim of extreme bullying.Īs Henry seeks in vain to find a place for himself in the world, he becomes an outcast in the town that once gave him comfort.
Henry drifts from adolescent confusion to isolated adulthood, encountering one disappointment after another.
The tale of Henry Walker is told-loner and eternal victim-whose pain and isolation spur him to embark on a one-man mission to clean up his town, protect his property and identity, and chase fantasies of a better life. The writing is sparse, the imagery stark, and the effect powerful. In the tonal working memory domain, relevant activations were found in the intra parietal sulcus (IPS), inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), cerebellum, dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), supramarginal gyrus (SMG), STG, insula, and hippocampus (Zatorre et al., 1994 Holcomb et al., 1998 Griffiths et al., 1999 Gaab et al., 2003 Foster and Zatorre, 2010 Linke et al., 2011 Schulze et al., 2011 Albouy et al., 2013Albouy et al.,, 2015Albouy et al.,, 2017Foster et al., 2013 Kumar et al., 2016 Czoschke et al., 2021 Erhart et al., 2021).BACKGROUND NOISE is a collection of interwoven stories that capture the alienation of suburban life, and take the reader inside the head of a troubled loner. In verbal working memory studies, it has been found that Broca's area, premotor areas (PMC), the STG, the inferior parietal lobule (IPL), the superior parietal lobule (SPL), insula, and the cerebellum are involved in the processing of verbal working memory (Paulesu et al., 1993 Awh et al., 1996 Fiez et al., 1996 Bamiou et al., 2003 Gruber and von Cramon, 2003 Crottaz-Herbette et al., 2004 Ravizza et al., 2004 Chen and Desmond, 2005 Kirschen et al., 2005 Koelsch et al., 2009 Cowan et al., 2011 Huang et al., 2013 Li et al., 2014 Fegen et al., 2015 Majerus et al., 2016 Emch et al., 2019 Ghaleh et al., 2020 Hoddinott et al., 2021).
