Crashin' the Real

Armed with a Glock and a bottle of Jack accompanied by her adventurous Grandma Rose Eve starts on a cross-country trip to find her hero and to ask him to explain the meaning of life. Along the way she escapes murderous circus performers becomes a Girl Scout cookie and meets a Wild Man in a sharkskin suit. ' . . . an exhilarating ride a kind of CANDIDE in reverse as Eve as unpredictable as Boadicea on a bad hair-AND-Roman day learns to see through her false shell which has imprisoned and impoverished her. Every scene (with not a single wasted word daring to show itself) packs a witty punch . . . A really remarkable first novel which I can fully recommend to the cool and the uncool alike.' -Steve Redwood
