Fat on the Vine (Paperback)

What would you do if your name was "lil big sexy" and you were a 28-year-old virgin and the first girl you ever slept with informed you the next day that she was a "Nixon-lesbian"? What would you do if you lived in your parents' basement and your genteel, Christian mother followed you around all day singing spirituals and telling you that you were "demon-possessed"? You'd probably drive up to Pittsburgh and go to a couple of raves with your friend and role model, the Great Gnu. Fat on the Vine is about drugs, self-hatred, and obsession. It appeals to the fat kid underdog in all of us. The author writes without social filter or shame. The novel is as beautiful as it is disturbing. REVIEW: "If literature wants to regain relevance then creations that are REAL need to be in front. Few push the envelope further than Crazy Carl Robinson. This book is miles ahead of anything else. My only regret is that I've already read it (twice). I'd give almost anything to re-live (virgin-like) this masterpiece." Victor Thorn, editor, Babel Magazine
