The Boxcar Bop

by T.C. Pescatore, Tom Pescatore

Boxcar Bop is the story of Ken and Braun Rodman, two interdimensional hobos traveling across America, while being pursued by bounty hunter Valentine Green, who intends to capture and return the two interlopers to the dimension from which they came. Part cut-up, part stream of consciousness, part poetry and part prose, Boxcar Bop is a pastoral abstract jam that doubles as a social commentary on old vs new, queerness, gender identity, homelessness and gentrification, control, poverty, happiness, struggle, wandering.

[Seth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pescatore has managed to make something truly original. Wonderfully poetic, filled with word-play that bops off the page, and fully realized in a unique voice, Boxcar is an epic Homeric poem dressed perfectly in the rags of the modern day vagabond. If you are into beat-style prose, hip imagery, and a creative reimagining of the hero’s tale, definitely don’t miss this one.
