About This Item
Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A.: Coffee House Press, 2009. First Edition First Printing Stated . Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 5" x 7 3/4. 224 Pages. No defects noted. .Scathingly funny. Savage expertly skewers Andy's comically insufferable exterior to reveal the tragic soul of a frustrated writer. Living on a diet of cupcakes, sardines, and Southern Comfort during the economic hardships of the Nixon era, Andrew Whittaker-literary journal editor, negligent landlord, and aspiring novelist-writes furiously amid a specter of mounting debt and accumulated debris. A send-up of the artistic life and the loneliness and madness that accompany it, this hilarious and cautionary tale revels in the dreams and delusions we all nurture to survive - From the back cover.
