GULF COAST STORIES is a cross between
the paperback-original Swamp Hoyden and
Charles Bukowski's Women. A comedy-of-manners.
The Shark-Infested Custard. The Penis-Eating Vagina.
Wear rubber gloves to clean wild pigs. They might have bacteria
that give a person undulant fever, or mad-cow disease. Barking-Mad
Correspondence-Novel Nonsense. A modest proposal. Was I nuts?
Was I balmy? Was I daft? A good job like that? A good job
like what? This is a good job. I have finally reached
bottom, the place below which I cannot sink.
No tits and no veteran's preference.
An old bitch, gone in the teeth.
A botched civilization.
I am the chronicler of
George Bush and
Dick Cheney.
Here is what
it came to.
GULF
COAST
STORIES.
No job,
no publisher,
no money,
no prospects.
The happiest man alive.
