DREW ROSSETTI (D. J. A. Rosete)'s "CIRCLE" is largely a family history and autobiography, of a person who spent his formative years in Seattle during the last several decades of the 20th century, a non-fiction work with some fictional devices melted into the general framework of the book. There is much conflict in Mr. Rosete-and it has to be resolved -in his identity, with what he believes in, whom he truly loves: much of it stems from the discords in his upbringing, which is in fact a very complicated if not highly convoluted one, and some of it is also in trying to be something in the society which he is a part of, and the friction and powers which similarly try to curb his affections, friendships and exceedingly high ambitions. By geographic placement, luck, the development of life over time, fate, chance and will--more specifically, the Will to Power --he has run into actually numerous figures of noteworthiness in his years, now that he is past forty, from people in several governments and government administrative entities throughout the globe, especially that of the United States, with incidents involving the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and similarly also including numbers of individuals within the Military-Industrial Complex, to encounters, accidental sometimes and while at other exchanges those clearly explicitly made by intention, with JFK, Jr., Bill Gates and Microsoft Corp., Andrew Luck, to many more highly prominent in various spheres of well-being, including the President of the United States himself. The engagement between Science and Religion, the struggle in his identity as a person growing up because of his multiracial, interracial and emigre background, the strain to overcome the bounds of his sense of self, as well as that of his past-and to escape it all-these and many more things, such as topics in Music, Sports, Politics and Philosophy, can be found and are explored in the volume. We will not only run into famous, popular individuals, including powerful politicians, entertainment industry figures, sports stars and broadcast newscasters, but also many, many others, such as most of his closer relatives, like Brian, Allen, Sven and Sonia, who, just through the mere stroke of being the same age as him, or by belonging to analogous tracks, or having parallel interests to just coexisting in similar parts of the country as him, he has come across, characters including the likes of Ron, Tae, May, Tia, Aradhna, Sasha, Andrea, Cathy, Frank, Jackie, Lisa and others. It has been quite a journey, and concludes with the close to true story of his somewhat fictional son, who has achieved a professorship at Harvard University, being an Astronomy Professor, and the creation of a new system of time, weights and measures, including arc and angle, all centered on the Circle and Base-10, which Mr. Rosete believes is in many ways superior to and should take over the present Metric System as the worldwide standard."
