Book summaryThe freaks of the suburban southwest wander through a wasteland of pop culture in the 12 stories that make up this collection. Characters, mostly from the lower-middle class, collect '70s TV kitsch, drink cheap beer, and meander around the half-deserted dystopias of failing housing developments. Media reviews"Mark Poirier writes with a fluency and sureness which belies his characters' shapeless, almost nihilistic lives. It is hard to find a cliche or a dull phrase in his energetic style." |
NAKED PUEBLOby Poirier, Mark Jude
