Hotrod Billy and Friends: Low Tales of Lost New Orleans & Points North, (Paperback)

"Well written, unaffected and ringing with authenticity," says R. Crumb about this offbeat, hard knocks American story that plays out on the mean streets of New Orleans and other big cities as three dropouts from a small town in upstate New York hit the open road in their search for better pizza, good live music and the cheapest rent in the whole USA. An entertaining yet at times harrowing journey through the back alleys and all-night diners of Reagan's minimum-wage America, it has a minor "Bukowski thread" to it and is sure to become a milestone in the annals of slacker literature.
