The Hurricane King (Paperback)

Tek is a highly intelligent but unmotivated pothead who sits contentedly on the sidelines of life. But when confronted by a series of disastrous events--the terminal illness of his stepmother, the temptations of an exotic stranger, and a hurricane quickly approaching his hometown--he begins to suffer bouts of anxiety that threaten the equilibrium of his mind. Lyrical and chilling, "The Hurricane King" recounts two weeks in the life of a despondent everyman as he struggles to put his world in order. Contains adult themes and language.
