The Universe Sock Puppet: Stories from the Road, My Heart & My Crotch

Kevin goes on a hilarious road trip in search of love, sex and the meaning of life where he encounters a chain smoking octopus, failed romances and strange parallel dimensions. This wild tell-all is an odd fusion of David Sedaris, Henry Rollins and Carl Sagan. It’s part philosophy, part heartbreak and completely funny. “ Kevin doesn’t hide his dirty laundry; he airs it and points a big neon sign to it and tells the world, “Hey, come check out this embarrassing stain I have on my life! Get a load of the mistakes I’ve made! Isn’t that hilarious?!” And that takes more than just humility and openness; it takes real courage... ...Maybe it’s just that he likes to put it all out there so that nobody can ever blackmail him about his deep dark secrets. Or maybe he’s just a big ol’ attention hog who loves the approval. Whatever it is, it’s working.” -Ken Knox Los Angeles Entertainment Journalist www.KevinJThornton.com Published by 55BC 2012
