Yes, it sounded dark and depressing-but it also included an interesting psychological bent that roped me in. When Peter DeMarco asked if I'd be interested in reviewing Background Noise, I read the description and immediately was intrigued. But does the justice he metes out make him a popular hero or an enemy of the people? In razor-sharp prose reminiscent of Haruki Murakami, Peter DeMarco startles the mind while touching the heart. Written as a collection of interwoven short stories, told in sparse, piercing prose, this haunting novel examines Henry Walker’s transformation from the misfit and the victim- to vengeful retaliator. As Henry immerses himself in his past, memories become guilt, guilt becomes regret, and regret becomes obsession-until violence seems to be the only logical response.
While suffering the loss of close family members and friends, desperately seeking companionship in the form of unconventional friendships, and becoming a victim of extreme bullying and violence, Henry ultimately becomes an outcast in the only town he knows. From an alienated adolescent to a frustrated young adult, Henry encounters one disappointment after another. Troubled young suburbanite Henry Walker is on a one-man mission to clean up his town, protect his property, and chase after fantasies of a better life ahead. 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).Source: e-copy provided by the author for an honest review
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).
