I recently spoke on the phone to a fellow reader/friend and his newest favorite author is worth sharing. He sent me a link and which books to read in order.Straight from the mouth of Jim Wilson:
Start with Et Tu, Babe, and The Tetherballs of Bougainville. An epic saga of a leather-clad rebel youth writing a screenplay about his father's impending execution under the New Jersey Discretionary Execution Program, and his torrid love affair with his father's warden. F***ing crazy.
Here's his Wiki entry:
