A dusty old trade paper copy found in a used book store, author unknown, bought purely for the title.
Loving it. It is pitch-perfect, a slice of a few lives in the history of this country. The author's style is like a cross between Bukowski and Vonnegut - coarse and raw like the former, but with the latter's tenderness and compassion.
NB: I am clearly an Oakland partisan.
